Let's face it, restaurants, bars, night clubs and live music are central to life and each year places like these increase in proportion (some have bad reputations while others good). The last thing you want to do on a night out is feel exposed or vulnerable, which is why at epartyguide.com you can browse restaurants, night clubs, bars, live music and events nationwide and read reviews on them. In other words, see how other townies rate these places or write your own review (no signup required and there is no account setup needed to use the service or contribute your own review). Now you can feel secure enough to relax!

In fact, Job Finder 1.1 will even notify you when similar jobs you've described in your search become available on these sites thereby saving you additional time you would otherwise spend on these searches. It's features allow you to customize and sort your searches by location, company and more!

Having multiple dictionaries in several languages all serve the same purpose (and are beneficial) but having all these comprised into just one not only makes your definition searches more convenient it saves precious time. This is why the well-meaning folks at gonaomi.com raised the performance bar to new heights by giving away GoNaomi Dictionary 1.69, a free electronic dictionary suite comprised of 30 different dictionaries pre-built with an array of languages (including Arabic, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish and dozens more) equipped with translation capabilities (available for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Vista) so any words that come across your way in any language doesn't have to be a weight on your mind.

If you haven't noticed, wiki's grow tremendously each day and wikiaudio.com is a free online audio encyclopedia where you can perform searches and find everything that relates to audio in some way.

The site also features video demonstrations and other forms of reference material so you don't have to figure out how audio works (proves useful) and once you sign up you can take part in editing, adding and uploading to the wiki itself!

If you've recently gone to the extreme and wracked someone else's desk drawer, gym locker, day planner (even greased their kid sister's palm with your last $5 bucks) to get the goods on someone and what's left of your brain is hurting, 123people.com is a free search engine that finds information, images, email, phone numbers and profiles on anyone you wish to know.

It's not uncommon to be referred to a company who may have used a slight variation on a DBA (Doing Business As) thereby unintentionally confusing new customers in the process. For instance, let's assume a friend refers you over to "pricecheckah.com" yet you enter "pricechecker.com" into your Web browser (or you overhear a conversation about a "preferred-loans.com" but can't locate the Web site because you typed in "preferredloans.com") or some other honest mix-up that stopped you from finding Web sites on your 10 most wanted list. So often is the case, that you can still move forward in locating the Web site you're trying to find by going to telid.com. Telid.com is a free service that let's you find the official Web site of a business by typing in their number (if you know the number). Pretty cool huh!

Too often we get separated from the very information we need--not because we're tone deaf to what is being said rather all too common the information being sought after is being filtered or banned. It's not unusual for certain types of content to be banned or filtered in some parts of the world, perhaps even on certain computers we use to access the Internet (such as the Library) and for good reason, however there may be legitimate reasons where you would need to get around Web filters in order to get just what you need.

Webmail servers are pretty smart when it comes to circumventing these Web filters and allowing the information junkie in all of us to feed itself--you won't need to spend the next seven months or so trying to send and receive messages in a bottle.  Read more>>

Traditional search engines are the road maps of the internet--you can't achieve long term success without them. Search engines make our quest for information profitable by delivering searches more efficiently in less amount of time.

Meta-search engines on the other hand, are engines which simultaneously scour other search engines when you attempt to cue up a search--as opposed to the conventional search engine which only retrieves results that are entered into their database. Here are 3 meta-search engines you may want to chart on a future information fetch:

• search.com
• dogpile.com
• metacrawler.com
