week 4 and 5

well, I subscribe to bloglines.com
and got some rss feeds.

about techs, weird news, cnn.com

i guess rss feeds save time by narrowing my selection of
online selections of topics that interest me.

talkin' bout topics on the net, I found topix.net

nasty suicide bombings yesterday in Iraq.

what I like about topix.net is its easy to see news' display

it's bold and plenty with lots of topics to choose from.

The topics range from news to downloading security software.

This site's cover page focus more on displaying its text rather than images.

I chosen dailymotion.com or utube.com and rollyo.com

dailymotion.com is the first place winner of the SEOmoz's Web 2.0 award

featuring all sorts of videos from anime to music and short films.

It's like Utube.com, we can post our funniest moments on the sites (I don't think porn moments
though).

Rollyo search engines is rated as the number one safe and trusted site by web 2.0 awards.

It does have a reference search that includes the britannica and can expands to the web.

I tried to search for the number one mental illness in the world but
it doesn't exactly return to give me the info. on which is the number one mental illnesses though.

it's a bit disappointing for me on that part.

Rollyo does let me personalize and narrows down searches however, maybe i need to do this
after the reference search.

i would use Rollyo for the general public or library patrons as a search engine. But for
college users, I prefer going to the infotrac databases itself.

i have created a search roll on anime downloads with Rollyo.com


wow! i just realized there are many useful things to learn these days. I've never thought of being able to create a 'search engine' via rollyo.com

but i don't know anybody else will take a look at my blog (of course, the virtual learning 2.0 team) thanks.
