                        Along with the personal page additions,
                        Netscape has added some tricks to Netcenter
                        that will also make their way into an
                        upcoming release of its Navigator browser.

                        A "smart browsing" feature could be a
                        newbie's dream -- instead of entering
                        cumbersome and even illogical URLs like
                        "www.ford.com," users can enter keywords
                        like "ford" and Netcenter will do its best to
                        take you to the automaker's site.

                        Then, when checking out the new Ford
                        Ranger, a user could click the "What's
                        related" button, and up pop suggested links
                        to related sites like Alldata's Automotive
                        Bulletin; Kelley Blue Book; similar beastly
                        trucks from GM, Chrysler, and Honda; as
                        well as Netscape's Auto Channel by Excite.

                        Smart browsing, provided by Alexa Internet,
                        like most of Netcenter's new features, can
                        be added to the browser bar.
