10 research sites you may want to bookmark

Hi Everyone, just couldn't stop bloggin... anyway I recieved this list from a fella who is much smarter than I when it comes to the internet - his name is Terry Dean. Anyway, he wanted to share some of his favorite information sites on the net. Hope you might find some of these useful.

Take care

Research Site #2: http://buzz.yahoo.com/
What are people searching for this week online? Find out what they’re looking for information on now.

Research Site #3: http://www.viralvideochart.com
