Starting Research on a Topic
Here's how I would start research on a topic, if I was really interested in finding out what is happening RIGHT NOW on that topic.
First, I would make sure I had a Twitter account.

Not everyone is on Twitter, so you will miss some perspectives if this is your only research technique, but it is a good starting place.
