Web Starting Points
from SlipKnot
The World Wide Web is a dazzling explosion of creativity.
Because it changes so quickly, no one ever has the last word or a
complete view of anything. With all pages essentially equally accessible,
and the number of sites on the Web doubling every two months,
it's impossible to keep track of all the interesting places.
Luckily, the links rescue us. We're never stranded.
When I started wandering around, and felt a bit overwhelmed,
I decided to organize things according to the ways I think.
Here you'll find powerful searching engines; breaking news from everywhere;
business information; technical tools; pitches for compelling ideas,
causes and projects; and fascinating windows on every human interest.
If it's helpful to you, I'll be delighted. By all means save
this complete page locally and use it for jumping off.
To your
pleasure and enlightenment! --Felix Kramer
Candidate sites for this page were assembled in early April,
