Planet of physics
http://planetphysics.org/
This website is truly a complete planet of physics, if there ever was one. Featured here is an open encyclopaedia to which just about anyone can contribute. Moreover, all entries are cross-referenced to each other. There is also a section on research papers where you can add your own. Probably the most interesting part of this website is the forum, where there are several rooms for book reviews and general physics to interact with buffs.
