2 wordreference.com
My favorite dictionary, because it includes Spanish-to-English translations and its ads are less obtrusive than those on some other sites.

3 blackle.com
blackle.com is just like google, except it has a black background and therefore saves energy (and is also easier on the eyes).

4 snopes.com
Whenever you get an email or myspace message or whatever about something that sounds suspicious, check it out at snopes.com.

5 urbandictionary.com
The Urban Dictionary is an essential resource for people who watch shows like The Wire and listen to music like Snoop Doggy Dogg.

6 mapquest.com
There are other sites where you can get maps, but I used to work for mapquest, back before the internet bust, so it's the one I use.
