Found on the Web

Two more personal favorites

I was looking at Found on the Web for August and saw the link about looking up lost relatives...etc. I would like to submit another link – www.anywho.com, which lets you do a reverse lookup on phone numbers. Ever want to know who lives down the road? You can look up everyone on any street by entering a single telephone number of a individual who lives there!

One of the web sites that I used for e-mail services during my six-week vacation was www.mailstart.com. This site does not require protocol changes, special addresses or servers, or long distance charges. I simply typed my personal e-mail address and password, and mailstart.com retrieved all my messages since the last time I logged on to my home computer. I could read, reply, send, forward, etc. - all as if I were at home. I used this Web site from libraries and friends/relatives homes from Maine to St. Louis, north along the Mississippi River, and west to North Dakota. It was wonderful.

http://www.abilitymaine.org/index.html Created by people who are disabled, AbilityMaine, is an interactive disability website which invites individuals to share practical information about their experiences living with disabilities in Maine. If you have any information to contribute, e-mail info@abilitymaine.org.

From Floyd White, BIS: There is a fantastic article from CNN about accessibility and the Web, which is archived and should be available for a long time. http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/08/07/web.site.accessibility.idg/index.html
