Well Hello There!
Thanks for surfing through and finding us as a new user to our
safe harbour web community - and it's great to have you on board!
Building A Dream Together!
It has been an eventful journey since I founded Riverside
Networks in 2001, but I was determined, even with some really big fish
as competition and some personal set backs to develop Riverside
Networks as a safe harbour web community for all ages.
Why? well without rambling, even at a young age I had a creative mind
and dreamed of having a business that could advertise on television one
day.
The Commercial World Wide Web!
After going through the 'what am I here for', and 'what's it all
about', as a young man in my working life. I found my holy grail one
cold April in 1994 and began to learn about a young guy and a few
friends, putting a project together, with a piece of software, known as
a 'browser' called mosaic in the good ole USA. The students began
communicating with each other and Colleges on the same network. The
greatest journey and phenomena for all mankind, that we know today, as
the 'Commercial World Wide Web' had begun.
The early day's of the web were great, pure, clean and innocent. For me
it was the equivalent of Crosby, Stills and Nash - the Woodstock
experience.
All Good Things Must
Come To An End
But as they say, all good things must come to an end! So today, whilst
the web is absolutely phenomenal, there are no clear defined lines of
behaviour and accountability in the form of an ethical codes of conduct
as a result the web is currently experiencing the social ills of money
fraud and theft.
The Web Can Be Daunting!
The above mentioned leads me on to say that if you are new to the web
it can be a daunting experience and environment, even the most
experienced can be caught out.
On the Riverside Networks safe
harbour web community, nothing will jump out of the woodwork (PC in
this case), I do hope we become one of your illustrious bookmarks or
favourites as 'Windows' would say.
Size Of Support Matters!
For here at Riverside Networks, with your help and support. I wish to
further develop the service on time honoured ethical practices and in
the true spirit of the web.
No Pop Ups or Abuse!
On our network, you will not be abused by Pop Up advertisements,
misleading links, defamatory or offensive comments to mention a few.
Our advertisers are
the real deal. Either Blue chip household brand names or genuine
localized deserving businesses established for many years where you
live in our regional web community portals.
I hope your web surfing experience here at Riverside Networks Web
Community will be an enjoyable one and a safe environment to shop till
you drop, on-line from the comfort of your home.
The Netscape Experience!
Those of you who never experienced the Netscape revolution, I hope will
capture some of that atmosphere as we further develop our 'classic
retro services' and features.
Our
Web Guide!
The building of our Web
Guide is with an aim to providing answers to your questions in our
FAQs section and as these requests are made for help to a problem or
seeking a solution through our feedback service. We will write
tutorials on the subject for future friends on the web with the same
problems.
Riverside Networks
Computer Sciences Academy
Was an idea of mine to use my past skills and knowledge to build free
open source projects for the greater good of the World Wide Web.
Coupled with those, localized software in the form of our continued,
licensed editions of the Netscape Navigator
family. With new bundles that include Mozilla Fire Fox
Browser and the Thunder bird
Email Suite UK Editions. All of which are all free to download and
use.
You
can really help!
If you are new to the web, experienced, old or young I would appreciate
your interaction and advice on services you feel that we could
introduce, improve, develop, or create new features for our web
community silver surfers of all ages.
Help Build Your Local!
I am currently designing the network in a unique way, so our web
community home pages can be personalized to the local region of where
you live. Launching 'Front Page Publisher'
so specialized businesses and local shops can advertise and promote
their services through News sections and editorial features. If you
would like to suggest a region where you live and would like to
contribute, I would like to hear
from you.
Out Of The Box Brain Storming!
I have a great many ideas running through my head all the time. I've
started a diary to record the ideas and the framework to achieve these
services on Riverside and also to protect my intellectual property.
Some of the new projects I have created coming on-line now and in the
next few weeks for all members of the web to use are;
to mention a few and to bring back on-line 'Live Online' On
demand web radio services and leading stations.
The
DevEdge Zone
It's worth taking a look in our DevEdge Zone to
get more information on the new projects and services planned.
Our Great Search Engine
Providers!
As mentioned before, Riverside Networks module is built in the spirit
of the web and on ethical grounds. In view of this I am extremely
pleased to have Yahoo as our search engine
providers. They are the best, they are great and always will be. They
are also recognised as a long standing Web Search Engine service and
therefore comes under the banner as one of the founding fathers in
their field and warrant grandfather rights status in our industry. They
are second to none and continue to develop new technologies today for
the greater good of the World Wide Web and it's inhabitants. If you
can't find it on Yahoo, it's not worth finding in the first place.
