Wikipedia is the most famous encyclopaedia of today, being edited and proofread by many thousands of authors (consider yourself one, if you like!) all over the world. Available in very many languages.
Also check out the other Wiki projects (linked at the bottom of the Wikipedia page)!

enigeo is a freeware, and in my opinion truly perfectly made learning game for geography (countries, capitals and flags).
My personal learning progress after just one day:

before:
110/193 countries correctly put on the map (57%)
96% for Europe
65% for Asia
50% for Australia-Oceania
42% for South America
35% for North and Middle America
34% for Africa

after 1 day:
181/193 (94%)
100% for Europe
100% for Africa
98% for Asia
79% for Australia-Oceania
78% for North and Middle America
75% for South America

Wind with Miller is a well done, funny interactive flash presentation on windpower generators. Not only suitable for kids! ;)

The Interactive Way to GO explains the famous Japanese two-player board game Go (sometimes it´s referred to as "Japanese Checkers", though it is far more sophisticated than that in many ways). Also available in several other languages.

memepool is a freaky, but nevertheless good, multi-author-blog-sort-of-thing, for when you run out of inspirations or want to find some interesting websites. For instance in the linguistics section I found many very good links.
