College Search Resources Multiply

Here at U-CAN, we're inveterate watchers of what's happening in Web-based college search tools, and in recent months we've seen an explosion of new sites. Some are really useful. Some, frankly, are nothing more than marketing devices to push the uninformed toward certain institutions.

Just recently we found a nice list of useful Web search tools -- "Top 10 College Websites for Finding Great Schools" -- posted by Lynn O'Shaughnessy on her College Solutions blog. (Thanks to Lynn for including U-CAN in that list.) She's picked up some of the best of the newbies, along with those that have been around for a while.

What sites have you found most useful? Any horror stories about the misleading sites out there?
