A Google-a-day

I thought the Google-a-day was weird because I couldn’t understand the directions;however, I thought it was useful because it tests you to see how well you can perform when under pressure.

Favorite Search Strategy

My favorite search strategy is that I like narrowing down the words I put in.  I like it because it will give you less search results just by being more specific.  You can narrow down your search from 7,000,000 to 2,000.

Web search strategy

It is important to have strategy when searching the web because then you don’t get overwhelmed with so many search results.

No, I do not think that I have ever used a source that was not a legit source.
