MapsIndex
Map directory whether you're looking for the standard maps, historical maps, earthquake maps or weather maps, its listed here.

MadSci Network
Get answers from this network of scientists. Search or browse the database of existing questions, or ask a new question. We know scientists are always known as fashion trend setters but what gives with the confusing layout of this site that requires a Ph.D to navigate.

To find great content on this site click on the MadSci archives and then the Current Queue link or Archives link . You can also try the search engine. Overall a fun site for scientists young and old which includes a comprehensive directory of basic science reference sites.

LookOff
Guide to the search engines. Includes a sampling of topic specific search engines. When you click through to a topic area you'll find one of over a hundred helpful search guides included. For example in sports was a guide on how to find stats on team players. A well done site, just lacking in the quantity of sites (the sports section of the directory only had 4 out of the hundreds of worthwhile sports search sites). On the other hand, the handful of general use search engines does include more detailed information than you'll ever need.

AllMovie

Vidnet
Find and watch video clips. MTV, movies and sports includes. Requires registration and broadband access. While the selection of clips is limited this site is way to much fun and we strongly advise you don't open it up at work or you'll never get anything done.

Questia
Subscription-based research service that provides undergraduate college students access to the full text of tens of thousands of scholarly liberal arts books and journal articles. Is it worth the money? Free trial offer provided so you can decide.

Infonetware
Search the two largest databases (FAST and Google) with this average performing metasearch engine. Results were average in relevancy. When you search, Infonetware generates a set of related keywords in the left hand navigation bar in addition to the more typical results. The idea here is to blend the benefits of searching and browsing. We liked the concept but found that use of the browse links brought up results of similar average quality to searching. Either way we found numerous redundant listings on the results pages. Worth a look.

SparkSearch
Ignite your browser with this fast UK based metasearch tool. Searches Google, Altavista, Hotbot and Goto.com with average results. We liked the speed, though the site is lacking in features..
