Online research tools are many and various depending on the area you are investigating.
Google scholar is a useful starting point.
JSTOR and other online journals – which can be searched by google scholar
Other blogs – which you can aggregate using tool such as google reader – you can select blogs that you want to follow here
By following tweets on twitter – these can link you to up to the minute content on your area of interest.
You possibly have to limit who you follow so you don't overload your brain with too much information.
Also Guardian has useful site - datablog which has all its stats on that it uses to create its articles.
Not only is it getting new information which will aid your research, but also managing the information you have got.
Tools such as Zotero, Mendelay and Endnote all help with this.
