This morning I wanted to make sure that I was straight about what the difference between clams and oysters was, beyond taste; I must have slept through that lesson in Biology. As I often do, I turned to Google and posed my question in the search bar. The first site that popped up answered my question perfectly, and when I took a look at the site which had provided my answer, I was pleasantly surprised to find that what it does is answer questions about the differences between things. As they explain …
Differencebetween.net not only facilitates your understanding of a topic, but it also enables you to differentiate two similar subjects. The site provides you with instant information on various topics. The subjects are organized into a range of categories from ‘Business’ to ‘Technology’.

We are eager to share our wealth of knowledge with you, so keep browsing and share your thoughts with us when necessary.
Granted, some of the answers may seem a bit simplistic, like when explaining the differences between OSX and Windows, but if you are interested in how football is different from rugby, how RAM is different from ROM, what makes soup different from stew, the difference between silicon and silicone — or a host of other things that might seem similar at first glance — DifferenceBetween.net is a fun and useful resource.
Oooh, this looks like a fun site. Bookmarking for future reference.
However, because it always bugs me, they missed a few things on the rugby bit:
1) Rugby is continuous play like soccer. So if you get tackled no one helps you gently off the field and gives you a sip of gatorade. Instead, expect to get piled on until the ball is freed and back in play, and when it is, get your butt up and keep playing. No rest for the rugger.
2) No pads in rugby beyond very thin shoulder pads (sometimes) and soft headgear.
So, really, the difference between rugby and football? Rugby players are significantly tougher. 🙂
Love sites like this. Thx!
