Practical 6

Q: Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?

A: Well if the invisible website has the topic that I'm looking for, then yes. It really actually depends. Sometimes it's easier to search through search engines because they give a wide range of results but at the same time, junkies. That's why searching through invisible web might be good because of the accuracy that it gives. But bad because it might be only related to a sort of database kept inside which will not hold the resource that you are searching on.

Q: Will you use the invisible web (databases) for research in your own respective Diplomas? Why?

A: Yes, if they have the topic that I'm researching on, why not. It's a resource that is much more accuracy and trust-worthy. Thus cutting down time for confirming that the information given is correct.

Q: What have you learnt from your wiki experience during this practical?

A: I've learn that working with people is not that easy, especially with someone you don't know well enough. Well, it's because you don't know what he/she's thinking. So how i feel about wiki needs alot of time and effort to create the information well presented. And of course once the information is complete and done. The sense of achievement is always there. horray~ V^_^V
