Th<strong>is</strong> goes back to our pointin the last chapter, about picking a niche with which you are familiar. Ifyou'd never heard of Star Trek, you'd have no way of knowing that '11' and'xi' both refer to movie sequels, 'sex' and 'nude' are people looking for pornwith a Star Trek theme and in fact Star Trek <strong>is</strong> a pretty prud<strong>is</strong>h show. Thenthere's jargon: 'tng' stands for 'the next generation' - Picard's Enterpr<strong>is</strong>e asopposed to Kirk's - 'bones' <strong>is</strong> actually the character "Bones McCoy" from theoriginal cast and not a skeleton reference, etc.That's nice for me, since I know my subject pretty well already. But to reallyput results into context when we don't have much starting knowledge, we'llhave to do some research. Now, for web research, Google <strong>is</strong> great. All hailthe mighty Google. But here are some sites that will be even better for nicheresearch:Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)The free online encyclopedia. Ignore it at your peril; Wikipedia has becomeone of the best sites for information around. While academic circles mightd<strong>is</strong>parage it because it's free to the public, the community <strong>is</strong> mostly selfpolicingand Wiki <strong>is</strong> at least as heavy an authority as you'll find anywhereelse on the web.
Clusty (http://clusty.com/)Dogpile (http://www.dogpile.com/)Both of these are 'meta-search' engines, which scrape other web searchessuch as MSN and Yahoo as well as Google. Remember that one searchengine will find what another neglects.Everything2 (http://everything2.com/)Never heard of it? Well, you'll thank me for the tip. Everything2 <strong>is</strong> kind ofhalfway between another online encyclopedia and a community blog wherewriters practice their craft and rank each other on how well they write. Theresult <strong>is</strong> a potpourri of background and 'color' information. <strong>It</strong> <strong>is</strong> a treasury ofquirky niche topics. When I can't find it anywhere else, I find it atEverything2. For instance, just from typing "Star Trek" into the Everything2search, I not only got the main Star Trek node but links to the followingother nodes at the bottom:The Star Trek Projectthe BIG Star Trek node atEverything2Star Trek: The Next Generation a seriesQa characterStar Trek Erotic Fan Fiction Clichés a humor piece on fan fiction (fanfiction <strong>is</strong> where the sex angle comesin)Star Trek: <strong>In</strong>surrectiona filmTechnology that gets lost between an analytical piecenow and Star TrekStar Trek: Voyagera seriesDammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a a humorous reference to one of Bonesbricklayer!McCoy's most frequent linesHighlights from Star Trek's "Starfleet a book
