Google gets all the press these days, but don't ignore the other search engines. They are all trying to come up with things to stay competative. You will cut yourself off from finding interesting things if you only use one search engine because each one orders search results in a slightly different way. That's my tip of the day on that topic. Whether you're a student, a parent, or just plain curious, Yahoo! Reference offers a handy selection of books and materials to help you find the information you need. Look up a definition in the dictionary, find map and flag images for every country in the world in the World Factbook, get in-depth information from the encyclopedia, and much more.
