We have mentioned newspapers, magazines, adverts. But also there are tools to narrow down the search for what you want to see today. Netscape, Northernlight, Webcrawler, Whatuseek, some of which share information. Aol, Dmoz, which are directories. Some ISPs have one or more search engines linked from their Portal website.
Some authors are better at getting their websites referenced than others.
There is a lot of rubbish. But there is also a lot of good stuff in there. When you are actually looking at a page you may want to come back to again you can add the URL to your list of favourites using the Add option provided. You can later on just click on the item and the system will go there again. Additionally, IE has a History icon that displays a window to the left of the display.
