I have previously mentioned some of the great resources available at
LibrarySpot, GovSpot and HomeworkSpot. The latest issue of
LibrarySpot introduces PeopleSpot along with a truly excellent
collection of resources. You can find out more information and
subscribe to any of the StartSpot newsletters here (I don't subscribe
to all of them, but I am never disappointed with any Spot newsletter
I have seen):

StaxLinks has links organized in two general categories: Business
Research Sources and Other Stuff. Business Research Sources include:
The Best Sources for Starting Business Research, Industry-Specific
Research Sources, News Publications, White Pages/Yellow Pages,
Reference: Stocks and Public Companies, Web Directories and Search
Engines and Information Databases. I think this one is a keeper.

GuideBeam is not a search engine, but a tool that works in
conjunction with a search engine. It is designed to help you to
formulate your query. Coming up with a precise description of your
information need can sometimes be difficult. GuideBeam attempts to
help you by suggesting phrases based on an initial query description.

SurfWax helps you get the best grip on the most relevant search
results on the WWW. SurfWax is the first to make searching a "visual
process," seamlessly integrating meaning-based searches with key
knowledge-finding elements for effective association and recall.
SurfWax was created as a visual tool for composing search criteria
before beginning a search -- giving you the opportunity to "focus"
your search without the often frustrating process of entering a word,
submitting it to a search engine, linking to the many URLs (web
pages) cited, and then repeating the whole process with different
words.
