Where do you get your online info?
Just something I was thinking about today as I was looking for some information on a movie, and I found it funny that the Wikipedia page came up on Google before the official page, then I realized how rare it was that I actually to an official website to find stuff out - I usually just go to Wikipedia.
The only time I go to like...a bands website or something is to check out tour dates.

Am I alone in this?

Where do you go to for your information?

I usually Google it and go to the most official looking source....it really depends on what I'm looking for. I would say 80% of my searches involve getting chords, so it varies on which site usually has the best chords.

There are other means than Google? I think not.

I think Cleverbot has all the right answers....

but seriously I really only use Google, Wikipedia, and FB (to ask opinions) when I need to find something out...

I use twitter to check if something has happened, then I hit up google news to check from a reliable source.
Wikipedia is where I get general info.

I think 90% of my internet time consists of CGR, Facebook, ESPN, and Wikipedia. Another 5% is google.

I use google and wikipedia for general info about new bands or people I may not know.

For news I use cnn.com to get headlines

and ESPN. Com for sports scores and updates.
