Reflections on Practical 4 & 5
Today, i learnt about using metasearch to browse through different search facilities for search results. Basically, i used the metasearch engine, metacrawler, for this practical.
By searching different search engines for articles, i would get a bigger variety of results compared to using search engines such as Google and search directories such as Yahoo! . Metasearch also returns only the best results possible, thus the number of search results is narrowed down to about 100 at most. However, sometimes, the search results in meta search could be all from 1 search engine only, thus reducing its effectiveness.
Site feeding a blog is great. People could easily access the site feed. Also, if there is any updates or changes on the website that i am site feeding, i would be notified. This allows life to be easier.
By collaborating with other students on the wiki, we could add on the information that has already been there and by slowly adding on, the information would grow bigger and better!
