New Portal Gets Back To Basics: Links to Other Sites

Full Story: http://www.urlwire.com/news/101204.html
Direct to site: http://www.webstrider.com/
Summary: Search engines are great, but slogging
through a few thousand search results to find something
gets old pretty quickly. Articles often provide
information on good sites, but aren't much help if
you need something right away. Good sites, apparently,
are where you find them, and finding them can be a
lot of work. Webstrider, now live at webstrider.com,
hopes to vill that void.
