• the image search and bookmark search don't work very well. The image search only searches on flicker and most images on there aren't that good.

I tend to use yahoo and Google because they are the easiest to work. They tend to give me a lot of bogus sites. Yahoo and Google are fast and get me information I need but if I really want important info I tend to use Bing or Ask because they give me better information.

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for my field research. I think I might do a survey. Or I'll find some major groups that are for and against human ID's and interview them.
