practical 4 & 5
for my assignment 1, i had choosen impact of budget airlines in asia. during my time doing the research on this topic, i have understand the different types of search facilities. The Search Engine, Meta Search Engine and subject directories. For me, i would use Search Engine to search for information, this is my favourite search facilitiy.
Search Engine: Eg- http://www.google.com/
the search result from Search Engine are very high because they have their own database. it can go up to 1 million results but it does not take a long time to search. the search engines also allows us to search more easily because of the phrase we search.
Meta Search Engine: eg- http://www.metacrawler.com/
the search result is much more lower as compared to the Search Engine. they uses database form other search engines therefore the results shown are much more lesser.
Subject Directories: eg- http://dir.yahoo.com/?skw=yahoo+directory
the search result are lesser than Search Engine but more than Meta Search Engine. this search facility is not suitable for searching an specific issues (eg:cyber crimes). it is more suitable for searching common topics then close in on more specfic topic (eg:terrorist)

practical 2
today's lesson is about the difference types of website and i will have to identify and compare between these websites. the topic i have choosen to do is the impact of drug abuse on youth. there are 3 types of websites that i have to find, namely the organisational, personal and subject-based websites.
An example of an organisational website is here.
the website is created by WHO (World Health Organization). this organization deals with many kinds of health issuses and one of them is about the drug abuse. there are also many others health issues that can be found under health topics. they allow users to give feedbacks so they can get to know more problems and also the FAQ section might help some people answer their questions.
An example of a personal website would be the following websites:
http://www.health-sky.com/
http://www.drugblog.net/
http://nycid.blogspot.com/
these websites are matained by individuals or from part of an organization. they have the same interest on the drug abuse.
Last but not least, an example of a subject-based website would be from teen drug abuse.
This website targets particularly on the subject of drug abuse among the teens. it is more straight forward and easier to found regarding the drug abuse in youths.
Reflections:
i have used 2 search facilities, Yahoo and Google. this 2 are my favourite search engines!
the keyword i used are "impact of drug abuse on youth" , "teenager drug abuse" and "blogs on drug abuse".
after going through this lesson, i finally understand those 3 types of websites. subject-based websites are focused into 1 topic (eg:drug abuse on teens). for personal, it is maintained by 1 person and are mostly blogs that include the person's interest. as for organizational, it is created by a group of people that form a organization.
