I jumped into the 'Fun' sites, and discovered One Sentence. Submit a story in one concise sentence, and realize how much can be told in just a few words. It reminds me of Frank Warren's book 'Post Secret' and as I read through the One Sentence blog, I found out that they're in the process of publishing a book as well. I'll have to add it to the collection when it comes out.
I also checked out the Education sites, and I can't wait to try out SpanishPod, Mango, and LiveMocha for their language lessons. (I can't exactly do that at the reference desk!) I poked around in all of them though; I was excited to see that the first language on Mango is Brazilian Portuguese. I want to learn more of that. I'll definitely check that out, and hopefully I'll be able to recommend these sites as complements to our books and audios on language learning.
I'm wondering what the rest of you have to recommend as far as music sites. I've never used an MP3 player before, so I'm curious... let me know what you've used! Thanks!

Ola, como vai a senhora? :P
I just came from checking Mango out. Que legal! Very cool. Although a little formal, as those things tend to be.
I recommend musicasocial.blogspot.com. A brazilian mp3 blog full of good stuff from Brasil and elsewhere. It's in Portuguese, but you can ask Stacy or me for help.
I love 3hive.com for mp3 downloads of free songs by up-and-coming (or already established) indie artists.
