A big ol’ hunk o’ links. A lot. Seems like a few are old or broken, though. But there are too many to go through at one time.

“A searchable directory of over 3000 of the best websites for learning, selected and reviewed by subject specialists.”
The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection, located at the University of Texas at Austin, “holds more than 230,000 maps covering every area of the world. Many items in the collection are listed in UTNetCAT and UTCAT, the UT Libraries Online Catalog.”
“Font Aid will donate all proceedings from sales of the Font Aid package to UNICEF to help their mission to give war and disaster refugees and victims with shelter, food and medical attention. 15$ will immunize a child against the major childhood diseases, 40$ will get 10 children blankets to keep them warm, 60$ will buy vaccines to protect 300 children from a preventable disease, measles. As you see you don’t have to give very much to help many.”

“How the user interface influences traffic and sales: Given the resources needed to launch a retail store on the Internet or change an existing online storefront design, it is important to allocate product development resources to interface features that actually improve store traffic and sales. We identified features that impact store traffic and sales using regression models of 1996 store traffic and dollar sales as dependent variables and interface design features such as number of links into the store, hours of promotional ads, number of products, and store navigation features as the independent variables. Product list navigation features that reduce the time to purchase products online account for 61% of the variance in monthly sales.”

“Labor markets are tight, and finding candidates, especially for tough-to-fill technical jobs, is expensive. That makes the World Wide Web look like a dream recruiting tool. But it doesn’t seem nearly as attractive if about three of every four online job seekers give up in frustration before submitting an application. That, however, is the failure rate that Web consultants Mark Hurst of Creative Good and Jakob Nielsen of Nielsen Norman Group found in E-Recruiting: Online Strategies in the War for Talent, a study of six corporate recruiting sites.”
