Do you ask questions on Fluther that you know you can find faster on google but ask the fluther community anyway?

Not intentionally. There was one question I asked that I couldn’t find the answer to on the internet. Someone else did. It took one response, and that was good enough for me.

Not generally. I don’t have very good Google-Fu, though, so others often do answer my questions via a Google search.

Just seems like wasting other people’s valuable time to me.

Not usually. I found Fluther while Googling for an answer to a tech Q. If I find something that seems it would have a better answer I go there. I now come to Fluther primarily for the sheer interestingness and congeniality of it. And some Qs I have seem particularly suited to Fluther.

I do! Like last week I think I asked a question that had something to do with Ugg boots. Before I was googling something about how they work but I still didnt believe it so I asked on Fluther. Also even though it may seem like am wasting other peoples time, it is actually very helpful and I find it really fun to read answer from other people.

I might find something specific on Google, but being a tech-moron I might not know which of the 6 bazillion links to click on, so I appreciate that the Jellies are willing to help me out.
@Zyx ; If they choose to answer, maybe they don’t think it’s a waste of time.
@augustlan : Yeah, me too :-)

No most of my questions are opinion questions

No. I generally ask here as a last resort when it comes to factual things, like would you be able to see to the other side of a 1AU Dyson sphere.

Otherwise it’s a local or opinion thing, like nice roads to drive.

No, i like questions about revelant issues concerning life’s joys! I’ve asked a lot of animal questions. Well, not a lot, but several.

If someone see Bob, tell him I need my yard mowed!

I use it for the opposite reason. I ask questions that are tricky for google.

I always use Google. But when I need the “human part” of the answer. Fluther is the way to go.

I have a couple of times—I was tired and hoped someone else would find something for me. Someone did, and often it was something I never would have found for myself.

But mostly I ask questions that can only be answered with people’s personal experiences. I don’t think google can be very good at that. I suppose you could search blogs and other stories, but you’d most likely need to do something more sophisticated than a keyword search.

YES!!! haha, such a good question (:

No, not really. If I can find it on google, I’m going to google. If I need something further and google fails, I go to fluther.

No. The sort of questions I ask are more like the “what do you think about…” questions. I’m more interested in trends and preferences than isolated facts.

No Fluther gives more reliable and accurate answers.

I don’t. Except,but rarely,when I want to compare the answers of this site with the answers of another site.

I use google for serious searches, fluther for fun. But that’s just me. When I want to combine serious and fluther, I just look up Matt Browne’s questions.

Your question already gave my answer for this, individual opinions most of the time.
