I am a huge fan of Google and Yahoo! I began using Google back in 1998 when the address was in the stanford.edu domain . I began using Yahoo! back before it truly was powered by a search engine - it was a limited index in those early days. I continue to use both Yahoo! and Google driven searches on a regular basis. In July 2008, an amazing 82.4% of all searches (more than 10 billion) are conducted through these tools http://www.comscore.com/press/release.asp?press=2405. While similar, Google and Yahoo! results are not always the same - click on the title to run a quick comparison of responses for keywords of your choice.
Google and Yahoo! refer many hundreds of readers to my blogs each day. These are tremendous tools that I would not want to do without. But, sometimes, they are not quite the best tool for the task at hand.
This blog is to share some of the other tools that I use to conduct a variety of searches. You may find some of these tools useful to you!

You always are on the cutting edge, Ray. I really like your idea of using a blog as a presentation tool to present research or other resources. I found you on Twitter and am following what you are doing. Thanks for your great ideas.
