eg3.com's category index

eg3.com is fundamentally a directory to the web for electronic design engineering. the easiest way to use eg3.com is to browse by keywords. begin with a section such as embedded, dsp, or rtos. within each section, we identify keywords that are subordinate to that primary section.

the keyword "8051," for example, can be found within the embedded section. each keyword is further divided by record identities. these are things like "books", "demo's" and "free code." hence:

• site map - use this to identify the major sections; or
• keywords - use this to browse all keywords in alphabetical order.

searching eg3.com

eg3.com can be searched as well. simply enter search keywords in any of the search boxes located throughout the site. we maintain these different search engines:

1. eg3.com - use this to search eg3.com (for example, to locate resources on the web for "RTOS").
2. services - use this to search our index to providers of design services and consultants (select "services").
3. buyers guide - use this to search only vendors by keywords (for example, to locate suppliers of AdvancedTCA boards).
4. conferences - use this to search only conferences by keywords (for example, to locate Bluetooth or RTOS conferences).
5. google.com - use this to search the entire web via "google.com," our preferred search partner.

identities and ratings

eg3.com constantly researches the web to bring you the best. each record that we add to the database is assigned an "identity" (book, demo, paper, personal page, etc.) as well as a one to five star "rating," with one being the worst and five being the best.

ratings used on eg3.com are:

- zero stars (worst rating)

regarding the ratings, please note that these are approximate ratings only - especially for companies. with respect to companies specifically, the stars refer to the relative visibility of each company: participation in trade shows, frequency and quality of news releases, size of its advertising, look & feel of its web site, and are meant to give users a rough approximation of how large a company is, and how closely it fits our target market of embedded systems.
