The Nerd Page from the News Observer is a great collection of Ready Reference links, Subject links and Computer Assisted Reporting Information. Raging Search claims to be the premier search site on the Web. Raging Search is dedicated to providing users with the best pure search experience on the Internet. That means the most relevant results, the fastest search, and the easiest site to use. I have been a big fan of the Spire Project since I stumbled on it a few years ago.
Registration is required, but it's free and the information available is a great reference resource.
