I have a question
 

When you guys are in need of something for your business, what tools and methods do you use to find what you are looking for?

• Word of mouth / referral
  
  PPC adult search engines
  
  Directories & Resource sites (like YNot, CozyFrog, Yahoo)
  
  Google & other engines
  
  Msg. Boards / Sig lines
  
  ???

Message board search function 99% of the time. Just filter out the crap.

I usually ask around first. I haven't been burned too many times but the few times I did it was usually because I didn't get feedback first.

There are too many fly by nights and scammers these days, If I don't know the person/company i'm dealing with i proceed with caution!

if it's business related then I check out the boards first... or ask Twinkley :)
