There are several major search engines. The top four are Google, Yahoo, Ask and AllTheWeb.

Activity #1
I checked out 5 search engines (four less known and one major). I searched for information on German Shepherds. I came up with some interesting results. · Goodsearch.com – had 1,293,070 links to information; no pictures, 4 sponsored results, no drop down menu when typing topic · Dogpile.com – didn’t list the number of links, had no sponsored results, provided special links to finding a pet, finding a shelter and training tips, had drop down menu when typing topic · Askjeeves.com – had 828,000 links, had 5 sponsored results, no pictures of German Shepherd dog · Inbox.com – didn’t list the number of links, no pictures, had drop down menu, had six sponsored results · Yahoo.com – had 33,100,000 links, had 1 sponsored results. Lots of pictures, had a sad article about the death of 10 German Shepherds, had link to the American Kennel Club, had drop down menu when typing topic I thought the dogpile.com gave the best information with yahoo in second place.

Activity #2
I made a search on teoma.com on global warming. · Without quotes – 7,601,000 results · With quotes – 6,361,000 results I thought it would have narrowed down more. Maybe my topic was too big.

Activity #4

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The first person I shared with was my brother-in-law. He is always on the internet looking at his stock portfolio. He can be there for hours. He liked going to the Google stock market. It was much quicker than what he had been doing.
