Web Sites for Academics, and their Students

(annotating the sites I have put on my list at http://del.icio.us/queequeg83/brownbag/)

Non Web 2.0 sites
Places to find topics for papers:

www.publicagenda.com - presents a few issues in depth, with statistics, and multi-sided views of issues (not just pro- and con- by more nuanced)

www.stateline.org - points to articles in newspapers from around the country to show what all the different states are doing about different challenges. Use in conjunction with http://www.bugmenot.com to minimize needing to sign up with multiple newspapers.


and, for more web sites about everything, how about Time Magazine's 2006 list: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1222769,00.html
