Do we need a better robotics internet site?

http://robotcafe.com/

I like Stephen Rainwater's  www.robots.net

Caution: Objects in mirror are more confused than they appear.

1)videos of robots
2)homepages "showcasing" peoples projects
3)programming
---PID
---vision
-----line detection
-----shape detection
-----obect recognition
-----face recognition
-----vision aided navigation
---navigation
4)motor control
(list of prices, power handling ability,
extra features)

IMO, if someone is going to take the effort to develop this depth of
information they won't just give it to another Web site to publish. Many
(and more all the time) of these Web sites are ad-based, and the ad
revenue is not shared with the contributors. If you've got a great
robotics story to tell, why give it to someone else? People like tooting
their own horns, and they like the control of having their own pages.
Sites like robots.net will remain as a general-purpose showcase of
what's out there.

Why don't these great sites
just make themselves part of
the robotics webring?

Two other people have mentioned
other portal-ish sites.

Having that information all-too
conveniently at your fingertips
would take some of the fun
out of it, IMO. I've been googling
several inter-related topics for
years now, and I love the tingle
of excitement when I find a
site I haven't seen before, that
contains some litlle gem of info
that I find of prticular interest, or
that answers some niggling
firmware question I've been
wrangling with.
