Practical 4&5

a. What benefits do you get when using different search facilities to search for resources related to your topic?
I found that different search facilities give different results. Some search engines called meta search engines are very convenient to use and it doesnt require the user to open multiple tabs on different search engines to find something. Metacrawler searches various search engines and arranges them in order of popularity. Search directories are also a very useful tool. You can find anything. However when you are looking for something very specific it may not be very effective

b. How do you feel about using site feeds in your blog?
I feel it can be very useful. People can post links on your blogs. However people may abuse it.

c. What do you like best about collaborating on Wiki with other students who share similar research topic as you?
I feel it can be very very beneficial. Even though you and another student may be doing the same topic, you may have different views which would be helpful when shared on wiki. This enables you to broaden your knowledge of your research topic.
