Are you Excite-Able???

by mrmazda Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 03 '00
Pros: Percentage rated results, Fast, Quick, Reliable
Cons: None
For those of you Non-Def Leppard fans (yes, they are old), that was the beginning line from a song of theirs way back in the 80's. Sorry, I had a flashback moment. I'm recovering from a trip to Las Vegas and haven't regained my mind...I'm still hearing...

Isn't This EXCITING?!?!.... Alright, Terrible Title I Know, But Good Review I Promise

by DrainOWHAT , Feb 25 '01
Pros: awesome options and very easy to operate
Cons: using it as a search engine is satisfactory but not as east as yahoo
Well first of all before I get started I just want to clear something up quickly. I basically use excite for its "home page" characteristics as opposed to its main purpose as a search engine. Now I know that sounds like it defeats the purpose, but I...

Female College Teacher Introduces Me To Excite.com Search

by charles Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Aug 06 '00
Pros: Easy to navigate and reliable; quick and convenient
Cons: Lack of filters for young kids....Porn sites just won't go away!
I will admit that Excite stands high among my portals of choice. My first e-mail address is on the site. I started using Excite.com Search since I was in College in 1995. It soon became my second favorite search engine. Of course, I could not leave...

Excite's Easy

by TrickyTrends , Aug 28 '00
Pros: Easy & Free
Cons: none
After several years of my sister trying to convince me to get a computer and get online I finally took the
plunge.
I know absolutely nothing about computers and to tell the truth at times I'm scared to touch it.
My sister hooked up my...

It can still "Excite" me... sometimes.

by mjbroo , Aug 01 '00
Pros: Fast, personalized search engine.
Cons: Not as good as Alta Vista :)
While I swear by Alta Vista search, my second favorite is Excite. I have to have a place to run a search if Alta Vista is down, you know! :) It's nearly as powerful and fast, and ranks up there with it's expanded search capabilities as well.

Great improvements to search engine

by MattLOGAN , Sep 02 '00
Pros: Narrower searching, Daily Download, Chat Client
Cons: lack of websites
Excite's search engine offers multiple capabilities to help you narrow down your search to what you want to find. You can search for Photots, Audio/video and even news, so you can search for just the topic you are looking for. I think this makes it a lot...

Excite-More Like a Magazine than a Search Engine

by Skayfox , Dec 17 '00
Pros: easy to navigate, good customer service, entertaining
Cons: does not invite a person to search for information
Excite seems more like a multipurpose online magazine than a search engine. It is a good place to get updates on news, weather, answer the poll question of the day, etc. It really does not seem to invite the user to search for information.Excite allows...

Pleasant Design, Poor Search

by shanewho , Apr 18 '01
Pros: It has a very pleasant personalized page. Efficient screen estate use.
Cons: It is more difficult to retrieve useful search results.
Excite is one of the more popular search engines on the Internet. Like many of its peers (other than Google), Excite has changed itself from just a pure search engine to more of an Internet portal.

Quite frankly, I do not find Excite too...

Dependable search engines with results!

by alanbweaver Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 05 '01
Pros: easy to use, one of the "grand daddies"
Cons: none really
Excite is one of the better search engines. Many people don't realize that Yahoo is a a PAID directory - sure I use it on occasion but as someone who works with the web, I don't like co's that charge for a listing. I know they have to make $$ but that...

by pgsahm , Aug 02 '00
Pros: fast loading, great searches
Cons: none that I can see
Many, many moons ago I just happened upon excite.com while searching the web. I ended up on the homepage and was intrigued by what I saw. This site will blow your mind!!

Ever since using excite.com's search engine the very first time, I have...

Just awful

by gvassar , Mar 04 '05
I signed on with Excite back in the early days of the internet...when anything and everything was fresh and new, and content trumped ease of use and functionality. Now in 2005 it has become exceeding apparent that Excite.com is the Ford Pinto of email ...

Have I told u...lately... that I love u

by ReliableRob , Aug 11 '00
Pros: Easy to use and lots of great features
Cons: Not as good as yahoo but getting there
Excite is really not a search engine like yahoo is, but is focuses on being a homepage for the family. WHen you first get a look at the site you realize that it is really very busy. Stock quotes, news, and tons more. This really would drag it down if it...

No good

by pichis , Oct 11 '00
Pros: Lot of options for a lot of people
Cons: But not in searching
Excite was one of my favorite search engines when I started in the Internet, a long time ago, now I hardly ever remember it is there and therefore almost never use it. It dose have a lot of options besides the searching services, you can find stock...

The times they are a-changin'.

by Amaranth , Dec 11 '00
Pros: Good speed, decent results.
Cons: Many irrelevant results, advanced search not easy to work with, media searches mediocre.
Excite Corp: If I had but one thing to say to your CEO, it would be this. Get with the times! As the search engine market veers toward specialized results and metasearch engines, Excite remains a dinosaur among us. The search is clumsy and difficult to...
