lycos.co.uk Reviews

I must admit that Lycos had pretty much fallen off my radar for quite some time. I remembered it being one of the big players in the early days of the Internet. At that time I was looking for an email service and it was then a toss-up between Lycos and Hotmail. Hotmail won. Recently I have started a new job, self-employed. For this ...  Read the complete review

STAY WELL CLEAR OF SLY-COST LYCOS!!! I have been with Lycos Webcentre for over 4 years now. You may think that I have stayed with them that long because they provide a good service… WRONG! Lycos is THE WORST webhosting service available on the net, and that is no exaggeration. I have only stayed with them for 4 years because they won't ...  Read the complete review

This is a relatively new addition to Lycos and is still fairly early in its infancy. The basic concept is that anyone can pose a question on just about anything to which members will attempt to answer. The questioner will then consider all the answers given and rate them according to their value of worth. In return the answerer will be reward with ...  Read the complete review

After running a free site on Tripod, and being very pleased with the service, I eventually reached the point where I needed some additional web space and bandwidth along with a domain name. Unfortunately Tripod didn't offer a suitablle package so I switched to Lycos UK. They weren't the cheapest but I wanted a reliable, long-standing ...  Read the complete review

Where do I start with probably the most advertised of all the web portal, search engines of them all. This is quite hard as this website offers you so many different services it is nearly unbelievable! (well probably not unbelievable, just vast!). Here we go! ~~Searching~~ There are two ways of searching for things on Lycos the ...  Read the complete review

Lycos is great. You name it they've got it. E-mail, Dating agencies, Search Engines, Mobile phone logos and ringtones, free SMS and now you can even get replies from your text messages to the computer!! Now how cool is that. The first thing that i used Lycos for, was to get an e-mail address. I did so, but I found it a bit on the slow ...  Read the complete review

Lycos is just another search engine. Or is it. Whenever i search for something on the internet i always use lycos. And I have my reasons. Firstly, Lycos is a UK website, so it only gives me information relevant for me, as I live in the UK. It also sorts all its search results by relevancy, and by how large a percent the site matches your ...  Read the complete review

I have read the ops in this category and I am SO surprised at all the problems that seem to arise. I have been a lycosmail user ever since mailcity joint with it (last summer) and I have never encountered any problems described in the ops! I don't think it is just my personal luck either because I have a lot of friends who use lycosmail and ...  Read the complete review

I always considered Lycos first and foremost as a Search Engine and have been using it, aswell as Yahoo, for this purpose frequently. Just today I decided to explore the Lycos site thoroughly and I must say I was very impressed. The range and variety of features offered is really quite amazing and very interesting and useful. ...  Read the complete review

Although Lycos is primarily a search engine it also has a strong focus on the other features that its web site contains. Its search engine is not the best available, it does include an advanced search (not particularly good) and help. When i have used Lycos in the past i never seem to be able to find what i'm looking for and end up ...  Read the complete review

I really think that Lycos is amuch better site now and it has really developed over the last few years to be a very strong competitor with other main web search engines especially those such as Yahoo and Alta Vista. Some of the key features of the Lycos which makes me consider why this site is as a great competitor are the free sms ...  Read the complete review

Lycos is one of the best sites on the web.I went there as i found that other search engines were slow and basically didn't give me what i wanted. Lycos was a breath of fresh air.The opening page is helpful,interesting as well as eye catching and thanks to the adverts on t.v.the little doggy logo makes us identify straight away with ...  Read the complete review

Lycos is an absolutely great site now and it has really developed over the last few years to be a strong contender with other main web domains such as Yahoo and Alta Vista. However, I now think that Lycos can not just compete with these sites but they have now developed into a very powerful web domain. In this opinion I do not ...  Read the complete review

They reckon that search engines only cover approximately 17% of the web, so its good to have an arsenal of search engines, and definitely include lycos in that arsenal. On the search facility it defaults to searching the uk, but you can expand that to include the entire web. But that isn't all lycos has to offer, they offer ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, Lyco's search-results are among the least relevant on the web. The descriptions, and layout of the pages also adds up to make Lycos a bad choice for searching- give altavista or metacrawler a try. However, Lyco's other features do help to compensate- if not through quality, then through sheer volume. The Lycos potal is ...  Read the complete review

I work with search engines every day and I have to say that this one is at the bottom of my list. I'd reccomend this engine to anyone who wants to find outdated results and a directory that never shows anything fresh. I would like to say good things about the site but I really can't what I find in Lycos I found in ...  Read the complete review

Lycos for me is second best to Altavista. Lycos is a Robot driven search engine which basically is a search engine that uses a robot (also known as a spider, worm, wanderer or crawler) to automatically collect sites for their index. They are different from subject directories/trees which are hierarchical and rely on people to add sites to their ...  Read the complete review

I must admit to not actually using Lycos much before today. I wanted to try it out though, because who knows, it might have been great. What I found was not really great, but it was definitely good. I was searching in particular for information on the Severn Estaury. Results from searches came back to me pretty quickly, and it ...  Read the complete review

I have finally become at one with all the limp lettuces of the world. My blood pressure is coming down slowly, and my eyes are almost normal, after an hour of protruding from my head. My mouse hand is slowly unclenching and my right index finger has stopped twitching. For the moment. I have stopped shouting at my ...  Read the complete review
