the 2nd time to compare 2 search facilties - this time, it is between meta search engine and subject directory. i think it's my first time trying both, (ya... even if i had before, i might have forgotten...)
choosing between a list of meta search engine & subject directory, i chose Kartoo & Yahoo! subject directory. using the same phrase that i had use for the earlier one.
I would say that I will prefer the meta search engine due to it’s creativity of the website. However, if I were to talk about the effectiveness of both, the subject directory is easier to work with while the meta search engine gives off more information to the user. They both provide websites to the search and the currency of each result is not arranged according to date and some of them are not so up to date too. There is no speed of search shown for the meta search engine and the number of results displayed on each page is different. For meta search engine, it has 14 results per page while subject directory has 10 results per page. They are also same that they show the number of results at each page.
after using different search facilities, i found out that there is other very nice, user-friendly and even others that are too boring. although i may not be using all the types i have learned, it is quite interesting that i have also find out about a visual meta search engine. i like it a lot because it's super interactive! (oh.. did i mention it's kartoo...)
i also did a site feed on my this current blog, linking to 2 or more of my friends or useful link related to my research topic. well... how i feel about using site feeds; actually i didn't know that blog links and other links on the blog are called site feeds. er, i always thought they are called links...
saying so, i have definitely create links before, so i feel that it's good and fun to link here and there. having a personal blog and links to wherever i want, so too fantastic right? :P
and of course i will continue to use it in the future, it's an escape from reality OR NOT....
