    Scholarpedia is probably the best one among sites cited by you. Facebook is not excatly about education, but we have been using it extensively with friends during studies. My experience is that you get easily bored with such sites…

    I have tried scholarpedia, and in my mind it’s very poor. I would rather choose an alternative, as I think that that project has lost momentum about 3 months ago. Let me know if you find anything else.
