A return to visiting websites directly rather than searching seems to have been forced upon us. Would it be useful to build a wiki for web resources so people can find and bookmark websites by topic? (slrpnk.net)

For example (just as rough proof of concept)

Research articles: Pretty much any academic library website for published stuff, arxiv.org for white papers in computer science and math, pubmed for biosciences

audio equipment: gearspace.com

Encyclopedia: Wikipedia

Thesaurus: Wordhippo.com

The idea is to avoid needing to visit a search engine. Might be a high idea.
