FUN.COM (sm) is your computer for fun-- it's "Fun on the Net!" (sm) for kids, teens, college students, even adults. If you're involved in creating fun information on the Net, we'd love to hear from you. We are very interested in finding partners, team members, and groups that are fun to work with. If you aren't currently creating fun, but would like to be, we are in the technology consulting business and have some information at the bottom of this page that you can read.

Kids will be able to play interactive games with each other. These games include moos, mushes, muses, and the like, as well as downloadable shareware and freeware games for a variety of computer platforms. We also are working with commercial educational and entertainment software companies, helping them market their products on Fun.Com.
We have links to more than fifty sites for music on the Internet, ranging from downloadable rock songs to weekly updates on folk music concert schedules. One of our domain names is "box.office.com", and we're actively searching for partners to work with us for automatic ticket purchasing and concert scheduling.
Previews are fun! See them on Fun.Com, in mini-video format. You can even keep your own copy, and pass it on to friends. Sure it takes forever to download them, and eats up space on your hard drive-- but it's worth it! :-)
Get the latest info on everything from squirt guns to model trains, from sky diving to golf, from game hints to blueprints on building tree houses. By interacting with USENET, we offer our users a wealth of eclectic newsgroups with daily conversation about hundreds of fun topics.
For our users, the main gateways of Fun.Com will always be completely free. This is one of the best things about Internet development, in our minds, and we are dedicated to making Fun.Com a great place to be, even if a user doesn't want to spend money. Some subparts of Fun.Com, such as the interactive games, may elect to charge a membership fee; some of our member companies may also have fees for their software and entertainment.
We're actively looking for companies and individuals who are creating fun on the net, to create a kind of synergy between our site and yours. Simple examples include gopher and web links, and broader examples could include cross-site promotions, distributed storage, and joint R&D projects.
Our core business is Internet technology consulting: we help other companies join the net. If your company is involved in entertainment, toys, educational software, joke books, sports, travel, or anything else that's fun, you should be here! It takes some time and effort to put your information onto the Net-- but imagine reaching thousands of people a day, all of whom want to know more about the fun you're offering..
