I'm partial to everything2.com. Back in the early 00's, everything2 tried to be a Wikipeida, where people could post multiple entries on a topic.

I loved everything2 and contributed some mediocre content in high school. Looking back, everything2 was probably my first exposure to information about software development beyond HTML and Flash. There were a lot of Linux, C, Perl, Jargon File type people on the site.
