| 1 | Feb 16, 2012 5:59 PM | User forums |
| 2 | Feb 16, 2012 7:41 AM | Various blogs. |
| 3 | Feb 16, 2012 7:30 AM | Frequently use Dictionary/thesaurus.com |
| 4 | Feb 16, 2012 7:00 AM | (Quora is more recent, but not that frequent) |
| 5 | Feb 16, 2012 5:37 AM | Normally I start with Wikipedia or Google to find links to source information, and then head toward the sources later. |
| 6 | Feb 16, 2012 5:25 AM | Online forums (mostly yahoo groups) specific to the primate welfare and conservation science community - online journals |
| 7 | Feb 15, 2012 9:28 PM | Depending on the topic, I might also use:
- stackexchange (see http://stackexchange.com/sites )
- imdb
- allmusic
- slashdot
- metafilter |
| 8 | Feb 15, 2012 8:31 PM | Dictionary.com (or other Dictionary Sites), I also will check info on websites specific to a topic that I'm confident will contain the info I need. For example, when working on Drupal website, I'll first go to Drupal.org or if looking up info on press specifications, I'll go right to a site all about Vandercook presses, for type, I usually always go to myfonts.com first, etc, etc. I think this question in the survey should be "...to find general information" because anyone who uses the web frequently will likely have diverging behavior when confidence in specific info resources are known vs. general inquiries that may go through Google first and then to the trusted content source (e.g., wikipedia) second. Both are tools in my opinion. |
| 9 | Feb 15, 2012 7:59 PM | Twitter and Facebook for real-time updates about events (earthquakes, Jeremy Lin winning games, something scandalous that just occurred). Wikipedia and Google for fact-finding and general morbid curiosity, and Quora for more detailed answers to career/industry related questions. |
| 10 | Feb 15, 2012 7:26 PM | additional info: always search google first, but the link i tend to click on is wikipedia. |
| 11 | Feb 15, 2012 7:08 PM | Reference books - for technical info (programming, electonics), graphic design styles and techniques, etc. |
| 12 | Feb 15, 2012 7:01 PM | archive.org, and various friends via chat and twitter |
| 13 | Feb 15, 2012 6:58 PM | Would love to use Twitter, once I have the following. |
| 14 | Feb 15, 2012 6:56 PM | aside from search, the rest are unreliable and unhelpful [or so limited as to be useless or less likely to help than 1 chance in 10 million = quora] |
| 15 | Feb 15, 2012 6:49 PM | bbc, guardian, nytimes, cnn |
| 16 | Feb 15, 2012 6:34 PM | JSTOR and other academic databases. |
