Whether you're number 2 or number 6, one of the reasons you surf the web is probably for information. So here are a number of sites that either present news, general information, or other timely updates about events of current interest.
	Wikipedia's huge range of knowledge includes anime. There's even a Fanime page.
News Sites
	The Asahi Shimbun is a published in Japan, English language newspaper. Besides the occasional anime article, it's a good source of news from a non-American perspective.
	The Beeb, as it's sometimes called, is an excellent news site, particularly if what you want is international news.
	CNN is well-known for good, up-to-date news (as well as James Earl Jones' famous voice), and their web site presents a good electronic version of the same.
	Fox News is a competing news channel, similar to CNN, and I've found their coverage to be just as good, but with a distinctly different feel. Try it.
KCBS	This is the web equivalent of the KCBS radio station, which is the station I listen to most of the time for news. They tend to have pretty good news both for national stuff and for local (San Francisco area) stuff.
E-Magazines Electronic magazines or other non-news specific information sites.
	If you have any interest in astronomy, this is a good website that tries to provide up-to-date information. They are also carried on a number of radio stations.
Japanese Language Reference While you can enjoy anime without learning Japanese, knowing a couple words helps.
	Moji is Japanese-English dictionary Firefox extension for helping English speakers understand Japanese web pages.
Jeffrey's Japanese⇔English Dictionary Server	For more help understanding Japanese, try Jeffrey's Japanese⇔English Dictionary Server which also has Kanji lookup. We linked to their mirror in San Jose, try another mirror if you are not local.
