Socoder -> On Topic -> Knowledge Sites

When I want to know more info about pretty much anything I will go to Wikipedia. It's a site I use to get knowledge. But if I want more info about a film, including some trailers, I will go to IMDB. It's another site I use for finding out knowledge, only for films.

I am interested to know what types of knowledge do you find yourself regularly searching for, and what sites do you use for finding this?

Note I am referring to sites that are devoted to the knowledge your after; the guys who actually host the info you learn. So no search engines!

Toasty Tech for graphical user interface galleries. Both interesting historically and useful when you make your own skins.

Wotsit for file formats.

tv.com for telly episode guides, but if you want actor info you have to head to imdb!

Php.net for info on that..


But none of those I go straight to. I usually do Google, then end up there!!


Oh, no, there is one..
If i want an Emulator, I head straight for Zophar's Domain..

I always used emuunlim.org for my emulators, but admittedly I've not visited it in about 5 years. At the time it had pretty much all emulators linked there; dunno if it's still as up to date.

The Free Dictionary for anything related to English. It has definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and I've never ever found a word which hasn't been there. The design is ugly, but I don't go there for eye candy.

Wolfram Alpha for solving equations. More versatile than a regular calculator, quicker than pen & paper.

C++ standard library reference. I don't go there very often anymore, but it is handy every once in a while.

The MSDN knowledgebase. I feel like I use that a lot when I'm doing some kind of windows-specific development.

Maybe you could count WolframAlpha.

Otherwise I use the various textbooks and past class notes for reference to things and concepts.

Theres a this really cool site called Google that I've been using for a while now. I think this site could go big here soon.

Quit posting and try Google.

That's the thing though, isn't it.
No matter what sites I do tend to frequently end up at, I do still end there because of Google.
I've been trying to think of this all night, but Zophar's Domain is still the only single specific site that I purposely go for, to get a specific type of info.
Other than that, my bookmarked sites are all news sites, and ... then there's Google.

How ever-present that thing is, nowadays.

How Stuff Works?

If you have a few minutes of downtime, it's always fun to read a random article. Rainbows and eyeballs are especially interesting...

I met the creator of HowStuffWorks back in middle school - just a little fun fact.
