10 Search Engines to Explore the Invisible Web - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting to think beyond what basic searching google does. I think sometimes we "Cripple" our searches by just checking google. Of course I always remind students that "web" is not peer reviewed journal, there is no quality control.

    This is VERY interesting- I had no idea there were sites that indexed private networks. I am also convinced that the "crawler" is outdated.
  •  
    I was using google scholar to search for scholarly papers. I will check these out to see if I can do my literature search using some of them.

    Google scholar has probably more advantages in that you can see who the preeminent author (most cited but other pubs) is. Its great for that. Interesting discussion on pros and cons of indexing such as google scholar. I guess it misses a bit.... even so I find it a very useful tool. http://blogs.ubc.ca/dean/2007/11/top-five-5-problems-with-google-scholar-three-years-later/ (ive spoken to ref librarians that are not crazy about it either). I think like all the search tools, they are good but not good enough to be "the" exclusive tool.

    Interesting article that compares the web to a city, where "for pay" sites are the gated communities. A fun read.

Enterprise 2.0: Google, Microsoft, IBM Embrace The Cloud -- Cloud Computing -- Informat... - 0 views

    Looks like business is embracing web 2.0 as well. Should be interesting, I think it will help develop more private cloud type products, which may be useful for university and k-12 settings as well.

Free Office for the Web: A week early, four years late | Desktop productivity - InfoWorld - 0 views

  •  
    Microsoft docs... somewhat like google docs with more limited file format export (just docx)... will probably be pretty popular considering how many people do not want to buy full blown office for whatever they charge.

    Interesting new way of printing... mostly consumer stuff, but I can see how useful a "education laser model" might be.

    An interesting article by the same guy (Nicholas Carr) that someone posted a "negative" article from earlier. He does raise some good questions, though.

      Regarding doing some homework before asking for help, there's a website made to mock those who don't. It's great. Check it out at: http://lmgtfy.com/

Twitter to launch its own Web link shrinker - 0 views

  •  
    Starting this summer, Twitter will use its new "t.co" domain name to shorten links that users post directly on Twitter.com or through applications such as TweetDeck. That will help the posts stay within the service's 140-character.The main aim is to link it in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened link and lets you know where a link will take you.

    you can use tnyurl.com right now for similar needs until t.co is live

The Social Media Classroom | DMLcentral - 0 views

  • I had assumed that all the laptop-staring, smartphone-glancing students were like my daughter (a college student when I started teaching) and all her friends and the other digital natives I had heard so much about. So I put together an online survey and discovered a wide disparity in my students' web skills. Just because they Facebook, text, or participate in online games doesn't mean that all young people understand rhetorics of blogging or collaborative uses of wikis or building personal learning networks with Twitter.

      We have to be careful not to assume that all "social media engaged" individuals understand all social tools. I made that assumption about myself in CI593 because I used a few tools I thought everything else would be easy. That was far from reality.
