Here are some good places to go...all comments, editorials etc are purely mine and mine only:
I'd be silly to try to link to all the philatelic sites of the world...many others have already done a wonderful job at that task...so let me point you to them as well as to the areas that tickle my fancy.
PS I've tried to avoid jargon, but see the stamp collector's guide to the net...a work in progress

don't know what to call these guys, but you'll want to check them out early in your explorations as they provide many services that defy a simple category. Most run stamp discussion areas of one sort or another, host different stamp dealers on the web and provide many various services that distinguish themselves from each other (e.g. Greg at Philatelic.com has a chat room on his web site where public talks with APS presidents and journalists have been held). All of these are worth your inspection
