Top Ten Links

This site lists hundreds of links covering different categories. They rate their sites by various conditions, and let you provide input to their rankings. They also have a search engine and translation into other languages.

PC Magazine's 100 Top Web Sites/a>

They have their list of top 100 'undiscovered' websites and top 100 traditional websites. They are listed by categories, with a short write-up on each site. The 'undiscovered' sites aren't that undiscovered.

Open Directory Project

Great collection of sites, with descriptions for many of them. Something like my site, but much larger: it has a staff.

Webby Awards

'Presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by worldwide media', is what they say. There are 22 categories, with 5 nominees for each category. So the sites listed here should be good ones.

Librarian's Index to the Internet

Look up sites by category, alphabetical index, or just do a search. A strong list of sites that cover the topics. And if you don't find what you want here, they have alist of search engines to use. This is a good place to get information. They cover more than 5200 internet resources. Brought to you from the University of California, Berkeley Public Library.

Consumer World

Consumer World provides links to sites that help the consumer. Whether it is shopping, government, your rights, telephone directories, or whatever, this site seems to have it all. The most interesting section is Consumer Resources . The one annoyance with the sight is how close together the lines are with the links' names. It makes hard reading. You have to look carefully to see all that they list. But it sure is worth it. Give this site a try.

Reference Desk

Reference Desk sounds like they have all kind of information, but instead they are a good source of links on various topics.

Wired Guide

Wired Guide says it provides internet information for newbies, but I find it a good source of all kinds of links. Some topics only have a few links, but there is much here to check out.

Dictionary

Besides for their major area of linking to a few sites like Roget's Thesaurus and foreign language dictionaries, and providing a search for word definitions, they provide a supply of links to many good sites. But there are a lot of linking to get to some sites. Many of their categories , though, are businesses.
This isn't really best sites, but it does provide a pretty good list.

All Site Cafe

Lists of links to the best sites or pages for Internet and Computing information, Software, Search Engines, plus Hollywood, and just Fun Stuff. Of course many are familiar, but many aren't. I wouldn't necessarily call these the best sites, since there are often too many on one subject, but a good listing.
