A piece of software called Alexa (http://www.alexa.com) gives the Internet
a friendly face. Once installed, it puts a tool bar on your browser that lets
you find out more about the sites you visit. Buttons reveal who “owns” the site
and how popular Alexa thinks it is. Alexa also suggests other sites you might
want to look at. The software is part of the Internet Archive project
(http://www.archive.org) and if you can’t contact a site and a version of that
page is in the archive, Alexa will dig it out for you.
