How to save the world in just one post

In my mind, a successful journalism career has three main components -- solid beat walking, good knowledge of resources and luck. Well, I can't help you with two of those, but I can point you to some great Web sites with a plethora of databases and search engines.

Check these out:
* Google = Yes, the nerds at Google will probably soon rule the world, because no other search engine can even come close to matching its strength.
* Journalist's Toolbox = Need I say more?
* People Databases = The University of Texas is a godsend, enough said. This one is also pretty amazing, because you can never have too many.
