Hi people, for today I have learnt two types of search facilities and they are
Meta Search Engine and Subject Directory. For meta search engine I have chosen from the lecture notes : http://www.ixquick.com and as for Subject Directory, I have chosen http://go.com/. With these two kinds of facilities,I have tried to use it and search for resources that are related to my topic and from there I have found new stuff that not google and yahoo could found . In comparison, I think that Meta search is more effective than subject directory as Meta-search engines use software to find the best Web sites to match your search terms and in research wise, it serves a better purpose than using subject directory. They are similar as they are able to allow us to choose category like pictures,web and etc and the difference is the findings that we have found.It is more relevant.
For the site feeding part, i think it's helpful as I can just give a click and I can enter to my friend's blog to see their recent updates and post which is efficient for me :)
The best part about collaborating on Wiki with other students who share similar research topic as me is that I'm able to exchange references with them as not all people with same topic gets the same resources and it's relatively new and interesting for me that I'm able to learn new knowlegde from there too and everyone gets to share the resources that they have found.
