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

PBS.org/pov/borders/index_flash.html

SEC.gov

SSA.gov/OACT/babynames

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.

Apple.com/itunes/store/

Cancerfacts.com

Engadget.com, Gizmodo.com

FFFBI.com

Freshdirect.com

Kidshealth.org

Metacritic.com

Mojam.com

Noggin.com

Talkingpointsmemo.com

Wordswithoutborders.org

Yoox.com

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.

Craigslist.org

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.

A9.com

Freetranslation.com

Froogle.com

JiWire.com

Local.google.com

Maps.yahoo.com

Mobissimo.com

Photos.yahoo.com

Refdesk.com

ResearchBuzz.org/archives/001404.shtml

Testmyspeed.com

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.

Accessproject.net

Comedycentral.com

eBay.com: Wedding Dress

Newseum.org/newsmania

Puzzlepirates.com

Sonyclassics.com/badass

There.com

Trevorvanmeter.com/flyguy

I like allexperts.com among many others!

(It's a site where you can find experts on nearly every topic and ask questions for free)

Anyone have any good websites to pass along?
