You might expect to find tools on the Internet to help you locate your Uncle Ed's e-mail address, but did you know that there are huge online phonebooks as well? You can find phone numbers and e-mail addresses for people and businesses around the world, or maybe even locate a long-lost friend or relative using the tools in today's TOURBUS edition. *----------------* Unlock the Secret of Your Dreams *-----------------* This deluxe 5 lesson course delivered via the Web will empower you to interpret your dreams on your own and in electronic discussion groups. Dr. Jayne Gackenbach, a leader and highly sought speaker in the field of dream research is your instructor in the next course, starting July 8th! This $129 course is being offered at a low introductory price of $39 (US) or $49 (Canadian). Register today - space is limited. *------------------( http://www.outreach.org/dreams )------------------* Finding E-Mail Addresses ------------------------------- First off, we'll visit FOUR11, my personal favorite amongst the e-mail looker uppers. Fire up the old web browser, feed it the address http://www.FOUR11.com and you'll be greeted by the FOUR11 home page. If you're limited to e-mail, send a message to "info@FOUR11.com" to find out how to search the for an e-mail address by e-mail. The name "FOUR11" is derived from the fact that in some parts of the U.S., you can dial 411 for telephone directory information. But don't worry, this service is NOT specific to the U.S. of A. (Some TOURBUS riders from the UK go a little testy when I reviewed the American TV1.COM service recently, but I think they're just jealous they can't get re- runs of "The Munsters" across the Pond...) Enter whatever you know about the person you're after (firstname, lastname, city, country, etc.) and FOUR11 will do its darndest to find him or her. Of course since FOUR11 has a mere 6.5 million names in its database, there's no guarantee that you'll get a match. (There are probably TEN times that many people with e-mail addresses worldwide!) If FOUR11 doesn't find it, you might like to visit WHOWHERE at http://www.WHOWHERE.com and try your luck there. Don't feel bad if you come up dry--I really *do* have an Uncle Ed with an e-mail address but neither service could locate him. :-( Finding Phone Numbers & Postal Addresses ---------------------------------------------------- Maybe your e-mail address search didn't pan out, or perhaps you're after the phone number or postal address for an individual or business. There's a wonderful database on the Web at http://www.SWITCHBOARD.com with about 100 million US residential and business listings. Doesn't matter if they're "wired" or not, and this one DID find Uncle Ed! I guess I'll have to break down and write or call him to get his e-mail address. You can tap into the same database via the Yahoo! People Search at http://www.YAHOO.com/search/people and even run a reverse search (get name if you know phone number) there. Oh oh. I can see those UK guys coming up the aisle to get me, but wait... There's another cool website for my international friends at http://www.c2.net/~buttle/tel which has links to online telephone, fax and business directories from around the world. You can do queries for all of these countries and regions: Argentina, Asia-Pacific, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, Europe, France, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and yes... the UK! *---------------* Win the $1 Million Dollar Giveaway! *-------------* Play the Prize-link Progressive Jackpot Sweepstakes at Web Warehouse.
