  2. Anybody tried ChaCha lately? It's beginning to turn into a pretty useful application - especially for mobile.

  3. I always use Yahoo answers if I can't find any useful answers from Wikipedia, most of the time it turn out answers which helps me refine my searches in Google to come out with a much better answer.

  4. Even though Wikipedia is great and all, it does not have everything. As like any encyclopedia, it is abridged. I personally like for information. Some of the others are abridged as well, but at least it will have different information. Another issue in looking at other places online is that not all websites are credible. It is always great to make notes and pay attention to details.

  5. Yeah I use wikipedia for looking up a lot of facts about things. I know you need to kinda take it with a grain of salt sometimes because anyone can edit the information, but it is still pretty accurate most of the time since it seems like they have people watching most of the articles out there.

  7. Google Blogs search when I want to know more about a particular subject. Wikipedia is good too but it doesn't have every thing.

  8. One thing I absolutely detest about Wikipedia are the links between articles. For instance, say you're looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article and in there is a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Article#fragment_in_article Chances are, if you follow that link, you end up at a dead end because some smart-ass has decided on removing the anchor that it links to without even leaving a note as to where you should go or why it was removed. So you end up digging into the article's edit history, which is a pretty awful game of hit and miss.
