Dispute Finder

http://disputefinder.cs.berkeley.edu/

An online veracity alert system that "sniffs" through what you are reading online. If anything smells fishy – perhaps questionable poll results or references to “death panels” it blows a whistle and says, “This is disputed. Here’s the evidence.”

Open Library

Open Library

http://openlibrary.org/

One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty but achievable goal.

To build Open Library, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a wiki interface, and lots of people who are willing to contribute their time and effort to building the site.

To date, we have gathered over 20 million records from a variety of large catalogs as well as single contributions, with more on the way.

WolframAlpha - A Computation Knowledge Engine

http://www.wolframalpha.com/

Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.
