Do you feel sad when you have a question to ask on Fluther, but when you do a Google search, you find the answer?

No. I still have my answer when that happens. Why would that make me sad? Most of the questions I’d actually ask are things that have to do with personal opinion. Other things I can find on my own.

yes. because people are like, “Just google it gosh!” then when I do I feel really stupid and embarrassed

no, because most of the time I want to hear other ppls opinions. if i have a question that i can find, that i want a cut and dry answer to—i’ll google.

I see what you’re saying Shadling. Fluthering is much more fun than Googling : )

@august- Yes! That seems to be what Google lacks. I used to have tons of fun Googling. If websites were food, Google would be bread and Fluther would be pizza.

Yeah, I kind of do! That’s why I started asking more “poll” type questions, “what do you guys think about xyz?” and questions asking for personal experiences that might give me some guidance on something.

Yes!
Last week I wrote out the WHOLE question, then checked google to be sure… and got my answer! Dammit! It was going to be such a fun discussion! I feel ya…

Check out this question from Hobbes; I thought, “Aha, that will be easy” It took an hour and improved my Googling skills dramatically. Then all the other Latin lovers appeared (No, not that kind.) I could say lovers of Latin if I wanted to be clearer.

But even if you know the answer, it’s sometimes fun to discuss all angles.

If someone does it repeatedly and it becomes annoying, you could always refer them here ha ha!!

(ooops, bad link!) Try this instead…

YES
I use fluther more for an opinionated questions. I give lurve to those people. I hate when people ask questions where the answer is one google search away.

@trustinglife

If it was going to be a fun discuission then ask it, well, to a certain extent.
