Invisible web(DATABASE)

OH HI GUYS! We were thought how to use the functionality of invisible web and we were asked to compare is it more effective to search the invisible web than using search engine, meta-search engine or subject directories.EBSCOhost search facilities has many functions that allows the user to do a very detailed research (e.g the search box contains various boolean functions as well as 3 kinds of searches - basic, advanced and even visual. It even has a history option for us to dig through our previous searches thus saving us the trouble to search for the information again. I find that EBSCOhost search facilities is very similar to the Google search engine in terms of the availability of information, various search functions to provide more specific results as well as options for images.

Dream Holiday on Second Life!

Hello readers! Today I'm gonna blog about my dream holiday on my secondlife account! I'm so excited to tell you guys about the great adventures I had!
I went to a destination called WONDEROAKS! It's an Adventure/Fantasy place!
Here's a picture of how the place looks like!


Secondlife uses a 3D graphic so it's like a real life experience! I explored around the place with a many clicks. I wandered around until i came across a house! The house is made of bricks and nobody's staying in it! It feels like i'm staying in a cottage near the sea! I have always wanted to stay near the sea! This is something that cannot be compared with a real life holiday experience.I'm a person that loves adventures,explore new things and see new animals. We can't always be living in a well-developed place. We must go around the world to see how the world looks like. And with the internet to help us with it we can see how the other places look like. Below is the place that i wish to go! Anyway if you don't know where it is,it's a part of carribean islands.
See the picture! SO BEAUTIFUL RIGHT?! Belize sports the world's only jaguar preserve as well as a home for other cats, including ocelots, margays, jaguarundis and pumas. The latter is also known as a cougar or mountain lion. Ancient Maya aborigines worshipped jaguars and today still revere and fear the creatures. During your jungle wanderings, you might come across the rather scary tapir, or mountain cow, Belize's national animal. Think crossbreeding of a pig and cow weighing up to 650 pounds.
