Best of the Web

I was recently asked where I get my news from. My answer was "all over the place", but what was needed was a list of informative and valuable resources on the web. Here is a list of user contributed sites -- the places we turn to find answers.

Freedom is like a jewel. You keep it forever and don't let anyone take it from you.

Ah... yep. See, this is why I look for user feedback... for when I miss the obvious ones. ;-)

I will try to update the list later tonight.

I actually post the weekly show on the Freedom Watch forum topic which is linked off the front page. Maybe I need to make that more prominent.

how are you doing the snapshots?

uploaded photo or is there some kind of drupal function that displays a mini web page.

I'm guessing it's the former but the latter would be pretty cool.

Khomar's picture

There might be a cool tool that I haven't found yet... but no, I just open them, capture the screenshot, shrink it in Gimp, and upload it to the site. It doesn't take me too long. I just figured an image and a link looks a lot better than just a link.

Khomar's picture

Best of Web has been updated with some links that I use frequently. Do you agree or disagree? Any new links you would like to add?

I am also looking for good informational sites on health, gardening, or other similar items.

Khomar's picture

Found it. I will try to add it soon.

Khomar's picture

How would you describe the site? It looks like an organization that would be similar to the Campaign for Liberty -- a political action group. Am I correct?

Post additional links below. I will look to add more to the main list.
