Alexa 1.4 (Alexa Internet)
File size: 1.6MB
License: Free
Alexa is a free Internet-navigation service that helps users determine the value of Web sites by offering a wide variety of stats and facts about each site visited. You'll see who owns the site, how many pages it includes, how frequently it is updated, and so on. If a Web page's server is down, Alexa can redirect you to its public archive of cached Web sites. This means fewer Not Found messages. In addition, Alexa users can communicate with each other in real time through an instant messaging service. Alexa also features clickable toolbar access to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Merriam Webster's dictionary and thesaurus on the Web. If you're already running an older version of Alexa, shut it down before installing the new one. (Requirements: Windows 95/NT, Netscape Navigator 2.x or Internet Explorer 3.x)
