With the long weekend upon us, let's take a break from the financial world (if just for one week) and dive right into exploring the Internet. While almost everyone uses the web to read news stories, research certain topics, and check their checking account balance, there are a whole list of sites that are useful, fun, and informative. However, we would never know of these sites unless someone told us about them. With that in mind and to hopefully make your experience on the web more interesting and enjoyable, below is a list of sites on a wide range of topics - none of which are finance related :)
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ - travel rating service by travelers
http://www.howcast.com/ - video how-to instruction manuals, some with a touch of humor
http://www.geni.com/ - a site that allows you to build and save your family tree
http://www.mapjack.com/ - a relatively new site for viewing cities, great photos
http://www.searchme.com/ - an interactive, easy to use multi-media search engine
http://www.imeem.com/ - streaming Internet radio station with thousands of songs
http://www.freerice.com/ - site that donates rice for every question answered correctly
http://www.nibbledish.com/ - site for cooks and foodies with tons of recipes
http://www.trulia.com/ - real estate site with town and neighborhood searches
http://www.pando.com/ - great way to send large files (IE photos) through the web
Enjoy the sites and enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend with family and friends!
