Learn it, live it is an open-access web site in English and Spanish on pregnancy and HIV/AIDS, aimed at teenagers. An interactive Risk-O-Meter lets users evaluate their risks of STD's. The site also offers anonymous Q&A with participating doctors and an OA library of myth-debunking information. The site was created by the University of Texas Health Science Center and funded by the National Library of Medicine, the agency behind PubMed Central. (PS: Imagine making this a for-pay site.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
