With that in mind, sites like wikipedia.org become a valuable resource for information. I find myself using it as much as Google, sometimes even over Google. Don't get me wrong, I still believe Google is the internet's Midas touch. At the end of the day it's merely a search engine that lacks the analogue touch and grace of multi-user created articles that can literally cover just about any topic in great detail. Try doing a search on something you know about on wikipedia.org and most likely you'll learn something new. Some of my favorite topics include, Ultima, Star Trek, RV, World of Warcraft, and I just found out there is no article for Airstream. Maybe I should though in my two cents.
Wiki can also be used for more detailed projects. A great example of this is the one I found last night called Memory Alpha. After Friday's Enterprise episode I wanted to find out if I remembered my Star Trek history correctly. I was right.

Yeah, John filled me in on the Defiant knowledge you shared as you know original Trek is not so much my thing... but I did notice the guy that Archer gets the blaster off of was a Red Shirt and I was amused.
On the Wiki side, I've used Wiki on some school websites and it is a heck of a lot easier than html for formatting especially since you can build right in the page.
