Before we begin today's tour of specialized search tools, I want to
tell you about a new feature on the TOURBUS website. "Very Strange
Things on the Web" is a collection of links to offbeat sites that are
fun, amusing or just bizarre. All in good taste, of course.
Well-meaning friends who think I don't have enough to amuse me are
always sending me links to these "interesting" sites, so I've decided
to share them with all of you. I've started things off with an
adventure game concealed in a deodorant website, and a few Strange
Classics that you'll enjoy. And of course I welcome your suggestions
for additions to this page.

=============
Directories
=============
Web directories (also called portals) can be an excellent alternative
to search engines when you're looking for information on a specific
subject. That's because they are organized and maintained by real
humans. Each of these directories lets you drill down through a
subject hierarchy or search by keyword. I'll assume you already know
about Yahoo, so let's look at two other sites:
LookSmart claims to be the global leader in Web directories, with 31
directories spanning dozens of countries and languages. There's more
of an emphasis on reviewing sites, as opposed to just listing them.
<A href="http://www.looksmart.com">

Working on the premise that the small paid editorial staffs at
commercial directory sites (such as Yahoo and Looksmart) can't keep up
with the ever-expanding Web, The Open Directory Project aims to
produce a comprehensive directory of the web using an army of
volunteer editors. The intended result: The Internet Brain.

Finding People
================
I'm often asked where to look for "people finder" sites that offer
search tools for telephone, email and address listings. My first
answer is always Infospace.
<A href="http://www.infospace.com">

If you don't find the person you're looking for, try these other sites
since they all use different databases:
<A href="http://www.switchboard.com">
Switchboard - http://www.switchboard.com </A>
<A href="http://people.yahoo.com">
Yahoo People Search - http://people.yahoo.com </A>

Finding Images
================
Looking for a Tiger? Whether you're after a photo of the king of golf
or a purring Bengal, you'll find it at one of these sites dedicated to
helping you find multimedia files on the web:
<A href="http://images.google.com">
Google Image Search - http://images.google.com </A>
<A href="http://multimedia.lycos.com/">
Lycos Multimedia Search - http://multimedia.lycos.com/ </A>

Finding Online Books
======================
Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when founder Michael Hart was given a
computer account with $100,000,000 of time in it. Hart turned his
"fortune" into one of the Net's greatest treasures - a full-text
archive of over 6000 public domain books.
<A href="http://www.promo.net/pg">

Bartleby also offers full-text search and retrieval of many printed
works. Browse through the classics of literature, nonfiction, and
reference free of charge.

===========================
Finding Discussion Groups
===========================
Looking for a place to talk, or hang with people who know everything
about something? Try Google Groups (formerly Deja Usenet Archive),
the largest Usenet newsgroup archive on the Net. If you're new to
Usenet, you can learn the basics about reading, posting and
participating in this collection of thousands of online discussion
groups.

If you prefer an email approach, start searching for mailing lists and
newsletters at Topica:
