Self explanatory
Wikipedia
An amazing free encyclopedia, have more subjects than at least 4 average sets of encyclopedia and 10 times for informations (at least!). It can be editted by anybody and anyone, 90% accurate to say the very least (if it isn't you may change it
) Frequently updated by its vibrent community of dedicated "staff".google maps
Another service offered by google, this site is basicly an virtual map, it has both a map version and a satellite version as well as a hybrid version. This map features most (if not all the worlds) at a medium zoom level and more populated world at a very high zoom level. I was able to find my house using this service. As well as a very nice tool for your geography homework, it also acts as an wonderful road map. It has an search button that allows google to automaticly search up the routes from one location to another with ease, the search can also works as an normal search and can find a fixed location (not paths between 2 location)
The weather network
A very nice site deicated to weather, although this focuses mainly in the North American regions, it also has the weather of Major cities around the world. This site features shorterm (around 48 hours, differs from cities) and longterm 7 day forecast, also include the: gust, P.O.P, Highs and lows, Dew points, Pressure, visibility, Ceiling, etc. etc.
Neweggs
Amazing computer hardware (and software, mainly hardware though) online store, with extremely helpful community and relatively low prices, you should check them out if you are thinking of buying a new computer.
Note: Neweggs currently only ships in U.S.A, all prices are in USD
NCIX
Another amazing computer hardware (and software) online store, just like Newegg except NCIX is canadian and ships to both Canada and USA
Note: Prices are in Canadian Dollars
Ebay
A online auction site, very popular! This site is very simple to use, go on there website for instruction on getting started. Almost anything can be auctioned off ebay, from old coins to 50 year old G.I. joes in your basement.
Note: Scams and Hoaxes are very common on Ebay, make sure you read the safety regulations posted on various websites before bidding!
Bravenet
A pretty cool website oriented service, although they do offer free web hosting, i do not reccomend it unless you do not mind banners.
However what i do love about bravenet is the tools and other service (counter, traffic count, horoscope, search) they offer (which means they provide codes for you to use on your website). Worth checking out if you are a webmaster but don't have much knowledge on HTML, PHP etc...
Penny-arcade
This is a game based comic strip website. The artwork is amazing and is usually frequently updated (a new strip every 1-3 days) not to mention its harlarious!!! Definatly worth checking out if you are a gamer!
Filefront
Very Very nice game download service, unlike normal game sites (i.e. gamespot and gamespy). Fileplanet's download service for normal (not paid) users are always open (no waits) and you do not even need a account to download from Filefront! You can also host your own files and a lot more on filefront!
Other then the obvious advantages, Filefront is also frequently updated with lastest patches from games and trailers offer for download! Definatly a MUST check out for gamers
