During our Practical 4& 5, we were taught to use the meta search engine and the subject directory to help us in our research. Meta search engine benefits me greatly as it allows me to search different search engines at the same time. As different search engines provide different results, it allows me to view all of them in one page. Meta crawler is also quite efficient in terms of narrowing down the total number of results return. However, I think that to some people, it might be too little. Still, the results returned are relevant to the topic and thus it is better than ordinary search engines as they usually returns result that contains the keywords in the document.
It is great using site feeds in my blog. It allows one to read an update of a site or a blog without having to visit it. If one installs a RSS feed reader or a similar software, one will be notified of whether there's an update on the site. Thus, it is not only allows the reader to just read the content, it also allows the reader to be connected to the site.
Although I have not made any significant edits on the wiki yet, I feel thrilled to be able to collaborating on the Wiki with other students. As I have edit wikis before, I like the concept of collaborating information, which allow visitors of the web site to gain knowledge. It also allows the editors to read materials contributed by other editors, and expand their knowledge, learning about things that they might have missed during the research.
