Flags of all countriesFlags hold a personal fascination for me. On the World Wide Web, “Flags of All Countries” got me thinking. This site can be viewed at www.immigration-usa.com/flags/. I have written about certain flags and the memories they evoke in the past. Who would have thought that so much information could be packed into a site that, at first glance, is about rectangular pieces of fabric? Although I have not done any personal research in this area, the site seemed factual and well researched. The flags of all countries have chosen as their “Web Master” the remarkable ITA, or Information Technology Associates. This company specializes in geographic references, website design, software, and national and international flags. ITA is a company that strives to help people by making information available. They sell software to immigrants, the United States government, foreign governments, large corporations, hospitals, and interested individuals. With such a wide range of consumers, ITA has built a trustworthy reputation. Photius Coutsoukis, a man known and awarded for his online translators and online stores, founded Information Technology Associates in 1994. From then on, the company grew from an educational site. for American immigrants at a major software store, e-retailer and Internet publisher. All this information contributed to the credibility of the “Flags of all countries” site. “Flags of all countries” is also very user-friendly. All contemporary countries in the world are listed. Each country listed is a link to a list of states in that country or to the country's flag itself. This list is located in the visible center column where it is easily accessible. The site also offers links located in a column on the left side where the user can find the symbolism and brief history of each flag, or view "quick maps" of all countries. Immigration information and general facts about the specific countries listed are also available. There is so much information on offer that it seems impossible to exhaust it. This site also gives the user the ability to easily paste any of the flags onto a personal web page..
