I find it depends on the subject at hand. When I’m bored or don’t have anything on my list of stuff to do I hit stumbleupon to find new things. I’ve found refining your interests on a regular basis helps keep it fresh. For general questions I’ll do a google search but I’ve found putting in the right search parameters is the key to getting proper results. I also tend to look about half-way down the list of results because the first few tend to be total garbage. Once google finds a result, I’ll usually use that resource in the future to track down more specific resources. An example of this would be if I wanted to do shared printing in the cloud and google brings up Lifehacker… I’d then search Lifehacker in the future for similar interests instead of hitting up Google. My newest (and probably best) resource though has been Twitter. Twitter is like google but with instant real-time results and many times you can find people who are online at that very moment who can help out with whatever subject you’re querying. Again, proper search queries are very helpful along these lines. Finally, bookmark EVERYTHING you find remotely useful! If I don’t bookmark a site I find resourceful, I tweet it to my followers with subject based hashtags so I can easily search it in the future (do a twitter search for #scaryrobots as an example). I have my bookmarks sorted into folders based on subject (gaming, graphic design, web design, daily, etc.) and then have them synced in Xmarks so all of my computers have the same set of bookmarks. The main concept is keep information handy in case I need it. (Which has worked out great for answering questions here on Fluther).
