List of links

The rating of sites depends on several factors. If a site has lots of information, a nice interface, regular updates and so on, it will receive a lot of stars. On the other hand, if a site covers a very specific topic it will receive less stars. If a site has a rating of 1 star is does not means it's bad, but it generally covers a very specific subject. Plain bad sites are not mentioned in this list. The meaning of the stars is :

***** Bookmark this site at once ! You'll want to visit it often and tell all your friends about it !
**** This is a very good site on a topic also covered by your beloved Planet Perplex.
*** The standard rating. You will find a good source of information about a broad subject.
** This site contains a great deal of information on a topic of this site.
