Wikipedia is great for research and I often go to YouTube for video tutorials. But where do you all go if you want to go more in depth and learn a new skill or subject?

Definitely depends on the topic. Typically I search for a forum dedicated to the subject. The forum's search will be great for finding generations of people asking how to do the same things you're now wondering about. And forums provide a living knowledge base rather than a static one.
I generally just use Google whenever I want <i>anything</i>. That way I just get pointed in the direction of the best resources.<p>@tilt has the best list, though. Update your question to be more specific please so we can answer better :)
If you are willing to pay, then <a href="http://www.pluralsight-training.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pluralsight-training.net/</a> is the great choice for learning Microsoft technologies.
