When do you NOT use Google?

Alternative search strategies

[Webwork]

Do you ever (shudder) have reasons for NOT using Google and choose to use another tool for hunting down information on the Web?

Have you found that there are categories of search that are more effectively performed using Web discovery tools other than Google? Who, what, when, where, why or how?

Do you ever use DMOZ? A niche directory or similar tool? Who, what, when, where, why or how?

I tend to go directly to Overture and Espotting when I want to purchase something as I often prefer businesses that are willing to shell out a bit of dosh to promote their services/products. Kinda makes me trust them more. I'm a bit daft, really.

I'm the exact opposite. I'd go to Google because I feel they don't have any advertising costs to pass on.:)
Ebay is also great for shopping.
Checking out the comp with ATW. The resources given when typing in the URL are waay beter IMO.
