Internet Research Project
The internet research tool I used was CUIL I found it to be very useful. Cuil uses 3x as many information as Google which is alot. Cuil searches results are based on their content and relevance to the keywords or phrases that you put in. This is a good tool because it is not just based on its popularity and you may find information you can use that someone else has not used. It also seperetes different ideas from you and uses images to each of the websites to help you indentify different information. It also uses roll-over defintions that may help you understand other keywords and defintions that may relate to your topic. Also when you type in a keyword you can start your search my tabs because some words have many different meanings such as jaguar, you may mean the car, the animal or a certain term so it gives you different tabs so that you can find exactly what your looking for. It also has blogs that you can apply for and has information from different websites such ask google and yahoo. Some weaknesses is that it also uses wikipedia which isnt very relevant and gives you alot of information such as google does and its hard to look at all of them. All in all I think Cuil is a great source to use and I highly recommond it!
