Opossum Sites

In my weekly column for Darwin Magazine online tomorrow, I’m going to talk about some sites and services that I like beyond their intrinsic merit because they remind me that the Internet will survive our commercial attempts to subdue it … like an opossum I saw on our suburban sidewalk a couple of years ago that somehow managed to last through our paving of its habitat. The examples I’m pointing to are:

• Google
• UseNet
• Sites where you can get technical help from amateur experts
• Arts & Letters Daily as a straightforward aggregator

Do you have your own examples of sites that get it so right that you not only like and use them, but are actually grateful to them for existing?
