Would it be helpful to provide a "commonly used resources" list for Fluther?

Asked by ccatron (2073points) July 10th, 2008

For instance, a lot of questions come through that can be answered with a quick search in Wikipedia. I’m sure there are some people that don’t know about wikipedia or they forget about looking there. If a list of these kinds of sites were provided in a sidebar, would that take away from Fluther or help? Even if people don’t use the resources before asking a question or they don’t find anything, another Flutherer might find something using the resources.

some examples could be
http://www.wikipedia.org (for information about people, places and things)
http://www.instructables.com (how to make stuff)
http://www.doityourself.com/ (how to’s)
http://www.ehow.com (more how to’s)
http://www.wikihow.com (more)
http://www.google.com (general searching)
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/ (or some other iphone help site)

I’m not sure if it would help or hurt the community. Just throwing it out there to see what everyone thinks.
