Reflection 3

I think there are many benefits when using different search facilities to search for resources related to my topic. For example, certain search facilities may not have all the indexes of the web pages, therefore it is important to go through a few search facilities to find all the best and most related results. I think that the meta search is the best kind of search engine as it covers all the different search facilities. this means that it takes all the best links from the different search facilities, whereas if we were to go to a single search facility like Google, there would only be a few good links. I think that meta search directories are a quick and easy way to search multiple search engines simultaneously to get the top results indexed in each search engine. Subject directories are also really useful as for example, you are not sure exactly what the topic is, and you can use the hierarchical style, from A-Z indexes or subject categorized i.e. automobiles, animals, computers, etc.

I feel that using site feeds in the blog creates accessibility. for example, if i wanted to visit yan zhangs blog, i can just click the link on my blog page, and i would be directed immediately, without having to type the web address into the address bar.

I think the best think about collaborating on wiki with other students working on the same topic is an excellent idea as sharing information is vital in our growing society today. If we share with each other, we would fill in the gaps in each other's information, thus making the final work complete, and everything would link up nicely. This means that whoever reads the wiki would learn better from our combined efforts.
