The best way that you can contribute to something useful on the web (short of making some sort of hurricane donation, admittedly) is to add in some piece of knowledge on Wikipedia.If you haven't yet heard of Wikipedia, you've been missing out on a huge revolution in what the internet is capable of. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written entirely by the people who read it. Each one has contributed some piece of knowledge (in some cases, a whole lot of knowledge), and every new person who reads that article has the ability to edit and/or add to the article they are reading.
To some, this sounds like an opportunity to lower the standards to the lowest common denomenator, to bring everything down to the worst level and to result in garbage, but it doesn't work that way. The quality far outweighs the crap, and the collection of knowledge is growing moment by moment in an almost exponential form.
They have articles on the most esoteric of information as well as on much more grand topics. And if there's anything that you can't find an article on, you can write that article, as I did.
Or, you can start your own Wiki on whatever you like...
