Ah...the inaugural post...
Internet Public Library - http://www.ipl.org/ - 4 Stars
Fantastic Site! It provides links to especially useful sites that have been vetted by librarians and library students. This means that their content is trustworthy. It also gives you a finite number or hits instead of the 80 billion from a Google search, so you don't have to wade through search results to find something useful. In my mind, if you're not going to a library for your infomation needs, at least go somewhere credible and useful like IPL.
The content has also been catagorized (ya'll know how librarians like to organize). The catagories are like those in web directories like Yahoo! but better (Of course, I am a bit biased).
The interface is "pleasingly plain", meaning clean and relatively intuitive. Try the Grokker enabled search too as its pretty interesting.
Overall, I have to say as a nearly lifelong Buckeye that the "school up north" has put something truly outstanding together here!
