50 COOLEST WEBSITES:
COMPLETE LIST
NEWS
AND INFORMATION
We'll stay away from the major news
organizations; you probably already have those Websites
bookmarked. Instead, here are some less obvious links,
including an encyclopedia of how-to advice and a Hollywood hot
sheet, a lie detector and a blog-sifter, all guaranteed to
keep you in the know.
Bloglines.com
BBC.co.uk
Ehow.com
ET.tv.yahoo.com/newslink
Factcheck.org
Fedstats.gov
Nationalgeographic.com/education
News.google.com

LIFESTYLE
AND CULTURE
Each site listed here pertains to a
particular area of interest — politics, science, health, music
— but they all have two things in common: great content and
great presentation.

COMMUNITIES
It's
a small world, after all, and the Internet can make it seem
even smaller. Each of these sites, in one way or another, and
for one reason or another — practical, political, personal or
professional — does a good job of connecting people.

Friendster.com
Freecycle.org
iPodlounge.com
Meetup.com
Sittercity.com
Tolerance.org
Triggerstreet.com
TOOLS
AND ESSENTIALS
Here are some new, exciting and maybe
better ways to do a lot of things you probably already do —
search the Web, share digital photos, consult a thesaurus,
find something on a map and decide what to cook for
dinner.

JUST
FOR FUN
If you're in the market for new ways to waste
time, you're in luck: we found some marvelous examples of
flash animation, a rather odd public art installation and one
bad-ass movie site, among other worthwhile distractions.
