Wikipedia's "In the news" feature is just about the coolest thing I've seen recently. Half of the reason I avoid reading the news is because I don't know the backstorys.
also, they redesigned recently, I wasn't sure until it was pointed out on some blogs, but anyways. it's nice looking.
my order of informal reasearch tools still goes: e2, google, wikipedia.
