Best sites for learning new stuff!

By Contributor

Instructables

Instructables is a web-based documentation platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others as they tackle new projects and learn new skills.

The site offers how-to articles across a variety of categories including technology, living, workshop, food, outside and play. Learn how to crochet, remodel a bathroom or repair a laptop power adapter.

StumbleUpon

A collective set of recommendations from thousands of hours of searching by web users who share your interests.  It’s basically a recommendation engine.  Users add to this engine by providing their personal recommendations on what sites are worth your time.  If you select topics and tags of interest like ‘Self-Improvement‘  and ‘DIY,’ you’ll be learning new skills in no time.

The site was created by Nature Publishing Group, the world’s leading publisher of science, and offers information for the average, curious reader as well as resources for the budding scientist (such as effective science communication and career paths).
