Know about politicians at Netapedia
Since the day I turned 18, I was worried about whom to vote and whom not to. Like most of the teenages I love spending time on Internet or play games or study which means I don't get time to read newspaper of watch news, I don't like watching news either.
With Netapedia, I can stay on Internet and still know my politics. It's an informative website run and managed by a bunch of students from IIT Bombay who regularly collect and publish relevant information on Indian politicians from affidavits and MPLADS summary for each of the MPs.
Things I liked about Netapedia:
1. No thoughts but factual data are only published.
2. Domain of information is limited
3. Pie charts and visual representation of statistical data.
4. Website design is lightweight and simple.
5. An interesting "Did you know ??" fact comes up every time I refresh or load a new page.
I didn't find a RSS feed which I'd have loved to subscribe to.

Have a look at this interesting map depicting extensive network of under sea internet cables.
