Good online resources about Okinawan Karate?

Hi there, Im just trying to do some research about Okinawan Karate and learn more about the origins and differences between its styles. Can anyone point me to good websites or online resources about the subjects?
Just randomly searching means Im not sure how reliable any information I find is, which tends to be a large problem in martial arts research.
Any help is appreciated.
 
There's a pretty good book by Hokama Sensei:

http://www.amazon.com/History-Tradi...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241102992&sr=8-1

It goes into good detail, yet is pretty easy to follow along. He explains about the history of Okinawan Karate, and describes how it has evolved along the way.

I know that you wanted an online resource, but this book is worth buying.

I don't know that one (but it's interesting, thanks) but here is one several of use have been discussing recently:
