I'm a teacher who uses Excite as the homepage on computers in my
school classroom in Edison/Fareira High School in Philadelphia and
I'm also the Technology Coordinator.
I was shocked to find that when I was looking to see if our search
engine could find my web page on oral history
(members.xoom.com/b_stoloff/oral).
I used +oral +stoloff and they next thing I notice is a series of banner
adds for Playboy and such - offering various materials that would be
inappropriate for my students.
You criteria for selection of adds in response to searches needs
considerable work.
Because of this, I will no longer be able to use Excite as my home
page and will see that no one in my school or anyone else I can reach
does the same.
