 I an earlier post, I asked "[How do you make Technology decisions?|http://community.citrix.com/x/BoEaAg]". According to a recent survey, Google is by far the most used tool by technology buyers *(83% ALWAYS use Google)*. The poll on my post found similar results.

 Again Google is the clear leader, but not nearly by the same margin as in the external survey. I am curious if the is partly because the question in the poll was phrased a bit differently.

 Instead of guessing why, I decided to ask you. Please vote below on whether you always, sometimes, or never use these different resources when researching a new technology before making a decision on a solution to implement.
