From the comfort of my seat, the various information that strangers have gathered are all in my hands. This beats having to prowl through various books and newspapers in order to look out for more information. Furthermore, search engine facilities have since improved, with special features such as the advanced search to help you narrow down and limit your search in terms of date and relevance, to cite a few examples. Google is my preferred option due to its compatibility with boolean operators and its advanced search option. It is also able to take random snapshots of webpages, which will be then cached so that I can actually see what was published on the website previously. Pages similar to what my search query are also presented, thus giving me the freedom to choose whichever information I want to use.
Opinion on sitefeeds
Though it is useful in conveying updates of websites that I may have a
morbid genuine interest in, I somehow think that it is rather redundant as I would rather click the link and head to the intended target's blog instead. Unless I have a very good reason to use site feeds, I will not use it.
