One browser feature you should be sure to use is called a bookmark. Bookmarks allow you to mark your favorite Web sites so you can quickly relocate them for future visits. Most browsers have some form of a bookmark command for saving the locations of interesting Web sites. There are other tools available for communicating on the Internet. This list is not inclusive, but is a sample of some of the more useful services.
Many people use instant messaging services to chat with other Internet users.
Everything typed is instantly transmitted to other chatters, and they can then type a return message that will appear on the channel. Nicknames are often used to identify chatters throughout the duration of the chat. FTP allows you to navigate directories, view files and download software. There is a wealth of information available using FTP and most Web browsers have FTP capability built into them. This means that if you find some software or other file that is available for downloading, you can just click on the link to that file and it will be sent automatically to the hard drive on your computer system.
