Best Question and Answer websites

The great thing about the internet is that you can find tons and tons of information where you can find answers to any question. The bad thing about the internet is that you can find tons and tons of information where you need to separate the wheat from the chaff, where finding accurate, useful information means visiting several websites some of which might not be safe.

As internet grew that has been the challenge : how to organize all the information for easier access and where to find reliable information.

These past years a few websites are trying to solve that challenge.
And here are some of them :

Review : Free Hosting Service 000Webhost

There's no such thing as a free lunch, economists say. The meaning behind this adage is that is impossible to get something without paying something in exchange. When it comes to 000Webhosting, this observation doesn't apply. If you choose their services, you won't have to pay anything, and as is the case with other hosting services, your websites won't be displaying ads in exchange.

The salient points are : 1500MB for disk space, a C-panel look alike, 100 GB/month for data transfer, 5 email addresses, 5 domains (actually subdomains name-of-your-site.webii.web, for example).

In my personal experience the websites I made experienced little trouble, but they were not very "heavy" and were mostly for experimentation purposes. My websites were down a few times, and a few more I couldn't reach the servers. So, I wouldn't really recommend them for professional purposes or for something serious. 000Webhost provides very reasonable service if you want to create your own website for personal purposes or if, say, your children's chess club need a website. It can be perfect for a society or a club, or if you're a student.

Pearltrees Review : A social bookmarking tool

I've been using Pearltrees.com for about 6 months now. They define themselves as "a social library.  They add, "It lets you cultivate your interests. Collect, organize and share everything you like." What I liked about them is that you could organize your interests(websites, articles) in a mindmap kind of way. At first I was really  excited because

enjoyed the tree-like structure and I could see my interests. But I kept adding websites and articles, and before I knew I realized that things were getting messy and that this tool is not very practical if you keep adding your interests on a daily basis.

I would recommend Xmarks or Evernote or even savethis.clickability.com. They're less impressive visually, but you can organize your interests and bookmarks the old fashioned way, in my opinion a more practical way, in folders. I would be surprized if Pearltrees lasts another five years without any modification. My advice would be : give it a try, but only if you're a curious geek. For serious bookmarking you should choose other tools out there. To be fair, one aspect I haven't mentioned about Pearltrees is that you can share your interests easily with other people. It's a social bookmarking tool, but still, it gets cluttered too quickly.

There are several channels and videos that can help you learn photography and improve your skills with tips and examples.
