Assalam-u-alaikum. I ran across this new site, called Alim.org, where they have the complete and fully searchable text of multiple Qur’an translations, Hadith, Fiqh, and many other classical sources of Islamic knowledge. But what’s interesting is that they have a unique feature that I haven’t seen anywhere before: every Ayah of the Qur’an, each Hadith, page of Fiqh, etc. can have discussions, comments, and voting associated with it. What I like about it is that it's not just a one-way "read-only" site that simply puts books online; they have really taken Web 2.0 and social networking and applied to the most important part of a Muslim's life: Qur'an and Hadith. If you haven't seen it, check it out at http://www.alim.org. By the way, it's run by a non-profit foundation so if you like what you see you should click the "donate" button and give some money, too.
