This service also offers fun, free multimedia Active X objects called "Things" that you can easily place on your page. "Things" come in several varieties, including games, Web site navigation and holiday themes. The only quibble we have with The Globe is that they place banners at the top of your pages.

Fortune City.com - Stake your claim at this cool service that uses a city theme. Some people will probably find this concept appealing; others are annoyed by it, judging from our feedback. Each member of the "community" gets a whopping 10 megs of space for a Web site. Better hurry, space here is being snapped up quickly. At one time, we were hearing complaints about the time it takes to gain access to update your page.
