I like to use www.about.com for information - I like to use www.about.com for information online. What websites do you use when you are looking for information?

What website do you use when you need information? I'm not talking about just typing something into the google search bar either. When I need information on something or a recipe I like to use about.com. My kids will look up things for homework or articals. There's tons of info on the site. What site do you use?

About.com is great,I get several of thier newsletters.I also like ask.com because you can ask real questions and it'll find relavent material.Chacha.com is also pretty cool.You can use a live 'guide' to search dozens of sites and give you links to whatever you need and it's free.;-)

If I need any information I usually go check for it in wikipedia or on howstuffworks.com they are very Intresting sites, 99% of the time you will find what you are looking for in them.

Jeeves is the best site for me when I have done research in the past, you just ask a question and it will come up with some answers. I use it a lot when I do my online competitions, if there is a question that I don't know, I just copy and paste the question into Jeeves and 95% of the time I get the right answer or an alternative site to find out the answer.

Hi Wolfie. I've used Jeeves but usually it gives me a bunch of shopping sites when I'm looking for information. What kind of online competitions do you do?

I like to use Ask.com, that way I can type in my whole question and it will give me the closest answers to it. I mainly use it for recipes or product information.
