Excite to Offer Personalized Web Page

Excite Inc. said it will change its front Web page this week so users can personalize it with information that interests them--such as sports or news--in an effort to attract more people to its Internet directory service. The Redwood City, Calif.-based search engine said Internet users will be able to change Excite’s main Web page, https://www.excite.com, to show stock quotes or sports scores, weather or their horoscope.
