I certainly do. Although goggling generally doesn't find you the information you're looking for. Using the search feature on Bito though, can be quite productive.

It depends on what your looking for, you can't find goggles on Bito.

I prefer hands on experience. For researching a subject though I will generally read koi books as well as searching Bito or I might just call a friend and see what he/she thinks. Google is usually a last resort.

Only one way to find out what these pictures are... thats with a click of a mouse . If you can't be there..then Google is the next best thing.

No doubt, hands on experience is always better and will always be better. That's true for all forms of knowledge.

Internet/google/forums are all sources of information. Is information a good thing? Sure, but as with all information make sure you realize the source.
