Similpedia ~ Finding Similar Content

This is an interesting tool that teachers and students may find useful when commencing some research...Similpedia - Finding Similar Content. I do not advocate the use of wikipedia as a primary vehicle for research due to its inherent problems rleating to the veracity of the content however it does come in handy when obtaining an initial grasp of a subject and the links at the foot of an article can often prove to be a valuable launch pad for more concrete source material.

Similpedia also has a few tools and plug-ins that developers may find useful for embedding in thier blog or web site.
