Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
- AddAce (http://www.addace.com ). Submit yourWeb site to more than 140 search engines and directories with thisfree, easy-to-use tool. All the majors-Google, AltaVista, MSN,Excite-are covered, as well as more offbeat engines (SearchHound,Matilda). Advertisements blink on screen as you use AddAce (AddAcePro kills the ads; cost: $34.95), but they’re unobtrusive andmay even be entertaining as you go through the drudgery ofsubmitting your URL. The download is 2.2MB.
- TurboNote (http://www.turbonote.com ). Is yourmonitor covered with so many sticky notes you can scarcely seewhat’s underneath? This tool is your savior because, with it,you can jettison the paper in favor of cyber “stickies.”Want to jot down a phone number? Note a hotlink for later browsing?Just fire up TurboNotes. It’s fast, extremely easy to use, and,in a mouseclick, you can reveal or hide any and all active notes.This is “sponsorware”–advertising-supported–but theprice tag (it’s free) makes it an irresistible download(416KB).
- WebExpress (http://www.mvd.com/webexpress/index.htm). A few columns back, I pointed do-it-yourself Web-page authors toseveral programs that handle getting a Web site up and lookinggood. Readers took me to task–well, more accurately, they told meI’m a dolt–for omitting WebExpress, an authoring app issued byMicroVision, a little company based in Carlsbad, California. So Igot a copy and those readers are right. WebExpress is a full-powerauthoring tool that’s easy to use, comes with dozens of spiffyWeb page templates (fill in the blanks with your info and, bingo,you’re up), lots of Web-ready artwork and heaps of tools (aforms wizard, cgi scripts and a button maker). That’s a gooddeal for $69.95 and, better still, a 30-day trial is yours free ofcharge. When other Web-page authoring programs aren’t doing thejob, check out WebExpress.
