Most of the time I just google for it, hwoever if it is more specific I use either answers.com or wikipedia. What about you? I am thinking in broad terms.

Thanks a bunch.

I use scholar.google as well (working on my MA in int. management).

For directions in Europe I use map24.co.uk.

I like the news mail from //www.wiseeye.com adjusted to my own cues, and the ability to search all those newspapers for free!

I used to know everything and didn't need the internet.

Since I got married however, I've found that I'm a dipsh!t who uses goooogle to find the G spot :D
