May Internet World Features Tools & Techniques for Searching the Internet

April 25, 1996, Westport, CT--The May issue of INTERNET WORLD published by
Mecklermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: MECK) features a special section devoted
to the tools and techniques available for searching the Internet.

As the overwhelming quantity of information on the Internet continues to
grow, ever more powerful search tools and services are being launched to
help users cope. We provide a detailed searching guide and explore the
latest news services, search engines, and agent technologies being
employed on the Net.

In "Guiding Lights," Ron Conte, Jr. describes a wide variety of search
tools and directories available for finding Web sites, Gopher sites,
software, news, and other Net resources.

In "At Your Service," Carole Holzberg details the numerous custom search
services that will track and forward information on topics you specify for
a fee.

Intelligent agents also are being developed to gather information. In
"Unleashing Agents," Steve D. Griswold describes the first wave of
products incorporating software agent technology.

In "Agents of Change," Jeff Ubois interviews agent technology experts Don
Norman and Jim White, who talk about the nature of intelligent agents and
their work at Apple and General Magic

Our IW Labs test this month is "Search Engine Showdown," in which Gus
Venditto reviews seven major search engines Alta Vista, Excite, InfoSeek,
Lycos, Open Text, WebCrawler, WWW Worm and tells which is best.

Rounding out the search section, Eric Richardson in "Add an Engine" tells
Webmasters how they can enhance their sites by installing one of the many
free and commercial search engines available.
