My Green Jar

Like most people I often have to search for information on the internet. My search engine of choice has for a long time been Google (link), more often than not it finds what I need in fractions of a second. But having a list of possible sources is just one step in the research process. The next steps often include sorting through the various sources, discarding results that are irrelevant and deciding upon the bias of the author.

However, I think I may have come up with a solution that cuts down on my search time dramatically. If I ever need easily understandable information I head for wikipedia (link). It is mostly well written, and generally up to date- plus there are external links if I want to continue looking into the topic.

I still use google for searching for precise information, although if what I want is general information then wikipedia gets my vote!
