Google tends to be my best friend as far as getting quick answers though is all too often useless when given a more in depth question.Step two, and the step I often skip to, go straight to the source. If I have a question about something at best buy I call best buy.. if I am having a problem with a peace of software I go straight to the creator/manufacturer. Why search endlessly or hope your friends might have the answers when you know who will.Step three, I ask my friends.. sometimes they can help sometimes they can't. Once again it really depends on the question and the answer I'm seeking.This was a very good top ten for people using yahoo, though I have never used that service directly it has often benefited me indirectly.I don't use any services directly though, it tends to take too long for me to get a response and all to frequently I don't get the response I'd expected. There are far too many childish people on the web and I need not even delve into that.Yea.. you should probably fix that light.

I would use plurk or some other microblogging service if i actually got some answers there. I tried, but I just dont have enough friends it seems...im kinda picky on friends too, i avoid people who are "overactive" on microblogging sites (mostly plurk) They annoy me. I use Windows live qna.
