Reflection on Day 3

So today, we learnt that there are other types of search engines other than the ones such as google and yahoo.

Firstly, there is META SEARCH.
Meta searches other search engines,
and lists down the BEST results from the other search engines.
From my experience of using Meta,
they do not have a lot of search results,
but their search results are very precise and accurate,
and they are relevant to what i'm searching for.
The results are also mainly articles and statistics,
with is very reliable.

The next type of a search is Subject Directory.
Although they have many search results for my topic,
i still prefer meta as Subject Directory does not have a lot of reports and articles.
Although Subject Directory search results are relevant,
it is not as specific and relevant as meta.

I have never heard of Meta nor Subject Directory,
but i'm glad that i've heard of it
and I will definitely be using them in the future.

Next, we had to include site feeds into our blogs!
You may have realized that i have site feeds to every single one of my classmates.
I personally do not have trouble in including the site feeds,
as i have been blogging for more than 3 years,
and i always play around with the codes in my template when i feel like changing my blogskin.

Next, we searched the INVISIBLE WEB to find more information and to widen our research.
Personally, i do not favor this method of searching for information and facts,
as i did not find anything that is relevant to my topic of research.
However, it is still useful as i can learn more information for my general knowledge.

As a conclusion,
i have learnt a lot today!
From the Meta Search to the Subject Delivery,
from the Invisible Web gateways to the databases,
from TP's E-books database.
And i have enjoyed every moment of it :)
