Thing 19

I used the following search engines,  Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and  metacrawler, ixquick,  zapmeta, and Yometa.  I did a specific search and all of them but Yometa came up with the same top 2 results.  I did a search that was a little more non specific and did not find using the later search engines as easy to navigate.  I love word clouds etc but could not use Yometa.  I like my regular search engines.  Google gets to keep me.

thing 18

I currently use google images, groups and Picasa in my everyday uses.  I use images the most.  I put in a topic and I can find pictures of it.  I sometimes find picture rather than web descriptions easier to navigate when I am look for craft and such.  I belong to a few different groups.  I am able to keep in touch with people and talk to the group an the topics that matter to us.  We can share pictures files and have polls.  I find both to be very helpful as well as useful.
