How to quickly find out the entry requirements to country X for a citizen of country Y? [duplicate]

For example: I'm an Irish citizen and I want to know if I need a visa for Kyrgyzstan... or I'm American and I want to know what countries I can enter visa free in South America... etc.

I've often found it difficult to quickly find this sort of information online. At best a Google search finds an embassy webpage which you then have to trawl through it to get the actual answer to your question. Are there better approaches out there?

I've always found http://www.projectvisa.com/ to be a very helpful resource as it gives you a really quick way to check visa requirements and then you can verify it against one of the links (typically to the countries Foreign Affairs website). While travelling I've noticed that few people seem to know about this site because it pretty much never shows up on a Google search, so I figured it would be handy to share this with the Travel Stack Exchange community.
