Highly Recommended Sites
WebCrawler SearchSpy	Check out real-time searches. See how crazy people really are or catch up on what's hot at this very moment.  I like to think of this site as a global "stream of consciousness".  There's got to be some cool applications of this data....somewhere.
Wikipedia	The ultimate encyclopedia.  A free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  The first and most popular of its kind.  Don't like what is written about the bengal tiger?  Change it.  This site is a great example of the "wisdom of crowds".  Beware, there are lots of people inspecting your work...it better be good or it will get changed.  A true natural knowledge environment, much like Linux, but applied to an encyclopedia.  Brilliant.
Drudge Report	The only place for news.
Montage-a-Google	Type in anything and this page will instantly build a montage of images based on your search. Very interesting.
GorillaMask	All kinds of hilarious stuff found daily on the internet! Need a laugh, check this out!
Innovations Report	A great place to find the latest and greatest in research.  Top stories from the top science journals in the world.  Very well organized, timely, and to the point.  Outstanding site for cutting edge science news.
KartOO Search Engine	This visual search engine makes Google look like something your fat aunt does over you at family reunion. This engine is extremely powerful because it is a "metasearch" engine, meaning that it searches several other search engines for results. But the coolness doesn't stop there. It then creates a Flash map of results and clusters them graphically. Very well done.
