Interesting Sites

This list of sites represents an extremely small percentage of information available on the Internet. This is a good place to look if you are a novice Internet user, or if you are just interested in seeing what kind of information is available on the World Wide Web. But if you are looking for specific information, you should search the Web instead of using this list. You may also wish to consult UNCG's expanded hot list.
