What do you think when you hear of a new email service? You think 'boring'. Well, in most cases your quick asumption would be correct. Yet excite.com is just plain different.

In many ways excite is like yahoo, except excite has a lot more to offer and the service is a lot less formal and more fun for you who have the 'child' streak in you.

You can personalise your own page, changing colours, your greeting message, the contents, the layout of the contents, even how often you would lkike the page to refresh.

On the email front, well, the service is sraight forward, easy to use, the usual bonuses apply to the email service. Except that you are offered free voicemail as well. I have not activated mine but I ma sure it is very good (Please let me know if you have used it so I can decide whether or not to bother).

You can also forward email to other accounts for free.

If this was not enough on its own, there is also a free excite assistant program that you download and are able to open when on the net. It will alert you of new email, news, TV listings, the weather, your horoscope, special deals and search for things at your request. There is even your own choice of radio stations to listen to.

You can use upto five member names on the one excite account. Recieve the newsletters, updating you on new products. If that was not enough, you can even get a personalised tool bar form excite which enables you quicker connection, and alerts you of email. This bar can also be customised.

There are alot of fun and games also. Pages designed purely for fun. In the horoscopes section for example there is a game called Loopy Lips. This game asks you for words, then these words are added to a story. The finished and complete stories are always a giggle.

www.excite.com is a very useful website. If I were you, I'd sign up NOW.

excite.com - review by the_midnight_falcon

Advantages: 'Inbox hub' is an intuitive interface, with helpful links to related services. Also, quite good storage capacity.
Disadvantages: Attachments are slow and server crashes are frequent. My account was hacked once; poor security and no inbox filtering or spam preventors.
