I introduce you: http://www.selfgrowth.com/ Please give me yours. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Why would you need a website to improve yourself? I'm not making fun, i just mean that the only real obstacle to self-improvement is wanting to in the first place. Anyway, i like http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ for pure geeky, gaming fun. Though i guess it doesnt expand you much as a human being...
If I want to go to any web site I just Google or Dogpile the subject matter that I'm interested in. That way I'm getting ideas from many sources about subjects that are changing all the time. Of course there are some that I have as favorites but they are there to only get me to what I need faster.
good for what? It depends what your looking for, based on this thread ALONE the only 2 I could recommend is Wikipedia and Google because they are the only general everything ones I know
@ asguard - i think that you are over-thinking this. Just mention any website from anywhere that you frequent for whatever positive reason. (though i would stay clear of just posting a load of links to porn sites...)

Saint, I completely agree with what you are trying to do here. Search engines are great for finding lots of connections to lots of data, but they are generally pretty poor at identifying QUALITY web sites. Are they factual? Interesting? Useful? Probably everyone here has used StumbleUpon. This has some value as it does allow users to rate/gauge websites, and you can "stumble" onto web sites for a given category. I have found some good sites with this tool, but it can be burdensome to use. http://www.stumbleupon.com/ Speaking of search engines has anyone noticed how the major ones, (Google, Yahoo) have become spam-filled, cluttered and worthless? The only way you can use them is by add-ons or other ad filtering to suppress the commercial trash they generate. Not to mention how invasive they have become. Here are 5 alternative search engines. I use all of them from time to time, none are as as good as Google at finding lots of relevant data, but most have a LOT less spam, and some are touted to be less invasive (as far as collecting and using your search metadata).

I didn't even read this, hey which ones do you like? I only really watch Zero Punctuation because he is the funniest basted and his reviews are quite accurate
@ asguard - I have been watching the zero punctuations since it started a few years ago, i like most of them as i too really like his style of humour and the way he seems to deliberately antagonise people, even his own fans! Off the top of my head i like the H.A.W.X one as i remember it being very funny, and the Psychonauts one as it encouraged me to play the game which i subsequently bought and really enjoyed! That reminds me - a new episode is out today - to the escapist.com!
I especially like the way he goes out of his way to piss of the yanks (for instance I cant remember which one it was but it went something like this "this is game x, that is y if you live in the land of retardsPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!" And his one on Skyrim was hilarious, "I will always remember you floating ground lady"Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! However I also watch him for the reviews themselves. Even when I like a game and he slams it I can't actually disagree with his comments, for instance Assassin's creed, I love them to the point I have bought them all but he's so right about it flaffing about, when put up against Skyrim where i didn't even want to do the main missions because i was so happy playing the side quests I have also just gotten into Unskippable as well, there commentaries on game intros are soooo funny Oh and about when Zero Punctuation comes out, it comes out at midnight AEST so you have about 9 hours till he puts the next one up sorryPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
