What websites do you frequently use to do reporst or projects for classes? Well, I often use Google to search for stuff, and www.yourdictionary.com has a great accesible dictionary. Also, a site where you can find an encyclopedia, almanac, atlas, and more is www.infoplease.com. It has a lot of links you have to scroll through, but it's worth visiting. What sites do you like?
An encyclopedia that I swear by is Wikipedia, at www.wikipedia.org. It is an open content encyclopedia, which I suppose could cause some problems if some malicious user came along, but there are admins and the like who make attempts to filter out bad edits.
For a site with a dictionary, atlas, almanac, encyclopedia, and all the searchable classic lit you could want, try www.bartleby.com It's great for famous quotes or poetry as well. Also for a translation site...like spanish to english or english to whatever...try www.babblefish.com
As much as translation sites can be useful, I would never rely on them to translate huge amounts of text. For translating certain words/phrases fine, but anything long or more complex they can't really put up with and translations are usually lost in a sence that they loos their meaning or mostly gramticly incorrect, at least that's what I found anyway.
My French teachers always tell the class horrific stories about the things people have written on reports with the help of translaters. Lol. But as for the sites I like, I love Google. By the way, does anyone know why, for some reason, instead of sites having "Ads by Google" it's now "Ads by Goooogle" or something? It's like, "Um, okay ..."
Anotehr really good search engine I like is www.dogpile.com. Very good and accessible. I also love Wikipedia and YourDictionary, per Doodgeman's recommendation (we're friends). But yeah, they rock. Um what else? Dunno. If I think of anythign else I'll post. Bye!

Hey about time someone remembered dogpile! Considering how much I love dogpile I'm now ashamed of my self not to have mentioned in my previous post, but I got thinking about the translation site so..yeah that's my excuse anyway, but I absolutely love dogpile. I've been using it that search since like when I first got on the net in 96..hmm well Ok maybe they didn't exist yet at that time, but I certainly have been using dogpile for long long time and I think it's very underrated search site, but I sure love using it, so glad someone else does.
