Search Engine Secrets
This class was fun, but it took forever to do. Our assignments were to compair different search engines. We were to report on the validity of their links, what features we liked, what we didn't like and so on. I found it impossible not to follow all of the links that looked good... following links on those pages.... 3 hours later..... hmmmmmm... What was I searching for?
My favorite search engine is Google
I liked the uncluttered look of the home page, the large type size on the results, and the links were relevent. It also has a button called "I'm feeling Lucky" that takes you right to the first site.
This feature appeals to me for some reason.
My least favorite search engine was HotBot.
I hate the color. Other than that I don't have anything bad to say about it.... but it gives me a headache.
Some Links I found enlightening:
Search Engine Watch
Article from Search Engine Watch, Search for Porn and get Disney? Here is why.
