It’s time to play catch up. Snopes was an interesting site. I particularly liked the category break down on the side of the screen that lets you jump to a particular area of interest. I don't know how helpful this site would be for patrons but it could help answer some of the more obscure reference questions.
Google's "In quotes" fact checking site has a great interface and was easily my favorite of the 3 presented in the challenge. It's good to know what a candidate actually says about certain issues. It helps make political pundits unnecessary, which I personally think is a good thing (except for Colbert). CNN has decided that they need hundreds of pundits on screen to say basically the same thing over and over again. That's my rant. Anyway, the only problem I found with the Google site is that when you search terms, it will bring up any quote a candidate has using the searched terms. Some of the information may not be applicable for the patron's query.
