Reference Topic - www.referencetopic.com

A good source of free online reference, entertainment news and encyclopedia. From its home page, you can gain quick access to online subject categories under headings such as Internet TV and Radio, Science and Research, Gadgets and Technology, Business and Finance, Consumer Information, Education and Learning Resources, Parents and Kids, Daily Diversions, Arts and Photography, and myriad other reference sources: the day's leading news stories, random articles and quotes, popular search engines including Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia related content, Book Reviews, Online dictionaries and encyclopaedias, even a search tool to find your local MP, travel and more.

Very handy are the real time news feeds pulled from news sites such as BBC, Reuters, CNN and others, on various subjects from entertainment, sports, gadgets to business and consumer information.

Even bearing in mind the British slant on the information provided here. Think of it as Yahoo! crossed with your local librarian.

If you're looking for internet information resources, there's a good chance you'll find them at this nonprofit portal, which links to the most useful websites.

Some pages still need tidying up but overall I have found it to be a simple and useful all-purpose resource.

Very much recommended is www.referencetopic.com.
