The Internet's population explosion has brought with it the proverbial fallout of pages devoted to the hundreds of new sites coming online every day. Some "What's New" sites simply compile a long list of new URLs; others go through a selection process. Net-Surfers will undoubtedly decide which type of list suits them best. (Executec does not necessarily endorse the content of sites listed in What's Fresh.)

This list was compiled from submissions by visitors and friends to our site, word of mouth on the street, and just our own Net-surfing.... in short, these are just some sites that caught our eyes, and hopefully will do the same for you!!

Executec would like to offer users an opportunity to submit the name and URL of any new, neat or just plain clever site via our e-mail to Submissions. Because there are now so many other What's New lists that feature each and every new site, we'll be going through our submissions and presenting sites that are not only new to the Net but that use or advance the technology of the Net in new ways.
