For searching for things on the web, of course there's Google and Yahoo. Sometimes, though, you don't really want to do a search, but you do want to find some information on a topic. The Wikipedia is a great place for that.
Looking for news or current events? For regional news there's The San Francisco Chronicle, The Contra Costa Times or The Daily Astorian. For a wider variety of news, try Google News, CNN, Fox News or MS NBC. For weird news, try this site. For more general reading that's not on the web, a local library is the place to go.
