any suggestions?
Work section:
1) Google Docs is OK.
2) Remember the Milk is OK.
3) Replace LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/) with Мой круг (http://moikrug.ru/). Moikrug.ru is big business-oriented social networking site in Russia.

Learn section:
1) Point Wikipedia link to the Russian version (change from
http://www.wikipedia.org/ to http://ru.wikipedia.org/)
2) Replace Topix (http://www.topix.com/) with news2.ru (http://news2.ru/). As I understand Topix doesn't have Russian version.
3) HowStuffWorks.com is OK
4) Add Lib.ru - this is the largest and the oldest electronic library in the Russian Internet segment.
5) Add gramota.ru - portal devoted to Russian language (contains a lot of dictionaries, people can get consultation about grammar and orthograpy etc.)

Play section:
1)YouTube is OK
2)Replace HypeMachine (http://www.hypem.com/) with Last.fm
(http://www.lastfm.ru/): community based, available in Russian, well known and
used in Russia
3)Miro is OK
4)Add kinopoisk.ru - (http://www.kinopoisk.ru/) - movie-related site.

Connect section:
1) Remove Craigslist (not useful for Russia, though I haven't found replacement) 
2) Remove Yelp (looks like US-only service)
3) Remove Facebook (not useful for Russia)
4) Add habrahabr.ru - (http://www.habrahabr.ru/) - popular site that combines social networking and collective blog.
5) Add Odnoklassniki.ru (http://odnoklassniki.ru/) - very popular social network service for classmates and old friends reunion, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odnoklassniki.ru
6) Add Vkontakte.ru - (http://vkontakte.ru/) - popular social networking site in Russia, similar to Facebook, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vkontakte.ru

Lib.ru's site is http://lib.ru and gramota.ru's site is http://gramota.ru correspondingly.
ok on the suggestions you make. if you can, can you reduce the number of websites we're recommending to about 3 for each section? 

Connect - ok
Play - do you think 4 (kinopoisk) is important?
Learn - these other sites seem like a good idea for Russian language so ok if we want to add them, do you think it's still good to keep howstuffworks?

thanks!

2) Remember the Milk - http://www.rememberthemilk.com/
3) Мой круг - http://moikrug.ru/

Learn section:
1) Russian Wikipedia - http://ru.wikipedia.org/
2) Lib.ru - http://lib.ru
3) Gramota.ru - http://gramota.ru

Play section:
1)YouTube - http://ru.youtube.com/
2)Last.fm - http://www.lastfm.ru/
3)Miro - http://www.getmiro.com/

Connect section:
1) Odnoklassniki.ru - http://odnoklassniki.ru/
2) Vkontakte.ru - http://vkontakte.ru/
3) Habrahabr.ru - http://www.habrahabr.ru/

WFM right now. Temporary outage is not good reason to drop server from list.
BTW, vkontakte.ru is #1 in Alexa Top 100 Sites Russia, see http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?cc=RU&ts_mode=country&lang=none
It looks like good candidate for me. 
ok, the site is working now, I created the logo icon and updated the markup to link to it, i will publish it with the next bunch of updates to SVN
