Our task was to perform a similar search in rollyo, mamma.com, and dogpile.com. I tried looking for audience participation stories for children, since Sarah and I recently finished our school visits. For my search, I found the results from mamma.com the most useful. It produced a very focused set of about 45 results, and I found several items that weren't included in other searches. One was an interview with Hap Palmer, a popular children's performer.
Doing this assignment will improve the way I search in the future, both for work and in my personal life. It makes sense to me to use some of the other search engines discussed to broaden (or perhaps I should say enrich) my searches. Yes, I have used google.com too much. At least I'm not the only one...I was surprised by the richness of the results for my topic in other search engines.
Since my last blog post I have found some interesting blogs on sewing, which is one of my hobbies. I found pattern reviews, stories about people who bargained for fabric on business trips to Asia, and much more. One blog that I enjoyed reading is missceliespants.blogspot.com. I think it's great to find out more about this community of people who like to sew, and I wish my mom could have been involved too--I think it's something she would have enjoyed.
