Searching the Internet for Answers

I am one to look at the internet for answers to my everyday questions. My often resource is Wikipedia, as every time I type something, like the word or issue that I would like to research on, Wikipedia entries are on top of the list. That is why I am really thankful that Wikipedia has raised a lot of money last month for their operations because web surfing would never be the same again without the help of Wikipedia.

Another useful resource that I came across is Yahoo answers. These questions there are asked by people like you and me about certain issues in life and are answered by people who has had experience in the same. Sometimes though, you get humorous or outright silly questions, which of course, warrant the same answers. I really like reading the funny yahoo answers, even just to give me a good laugh at times.

But seriously speaking, when I was pregnant, I had looked up Yahoo answers many times. It was there that I learned that many women experience farting and burping much during conception. I thought I just ate some weird stuff, then it turned out I was actually pregnant. That I learned from Yahoo.

There are other many valuable resources that I read on the net. Some are serious, some are myths, some are outright funny. You will have to be the judge which one you will believe.

Wikipedia

Last time, Wikipedia announced that they are raising funds for the maintenance of the site. And lately they made another announcement that they have raised several millions of dollars in less than two months. It is amazing when people around the world work together and pitch in to save something.

Wikipedia has indeed helped every internet user around the globe in one way or another. The information they offer is invaluable. If I had some more extra money, I would have given even just a little. Maybe next time, when the budget is not so tight.

But I am thankful that they have reached their targets and they will be able to maintain the site. May God bless the people who have helped Wikipedia.
