RESOURCES: Sites from “Smarter Surfing” Presentation

SMARTER SURFING LINKS: The links page for journalists on deadline that five of your classmates helped build collaboratively during my Aug. 21 lecture are available at http://snurl.com/smartersurfing - feedback, additions welcome. I will be having additional, informal training sessions in the Fall and Spring - watch for them (or approach me about setting up one for smaller groups).

Meanwhile, here’s a question I just received (the two sites mentioned are on that list above):

Dear Dean Sree,
I was using statemaster.com and nationmaster.com tonight. I was wondering - is there a good website you know of that compares info about U.S. cities within one site?

My answer: Try the following…
City-Data.com: Data on 100s of cities across the U.S. Check out the “Top 100 Lists and the stats on NYC.
Main site: http://www.city-data.com/
Top 100 lists: http://www.city-data.com/toplists.html
NYC: http://www.city-data.com/city/New-York-New-York.html
Forums discussing NYC: http://www.city-data.com/forum/new-york-city/
