One of the sites that my family uses very often is cheaptickets.com. I highly recommend for students to use it and check it; they really have a great deals and tickets.

Another website, extremely helpful, that has had a great impact on my life, Mapquest.com. Websites address is http://www.mapquest.com. It provides maps, directions, even yellow pages.

Doodles on Google

Google is the only search engine that I know off who dresses up their logos for festive occasions, and it all started with the Burning Man Festival. You can read this article for more information on how this tradition came about and view some of the different logos that they've had.

Anti-Gmail Bill

I found some other interesting article so I think I will post again. It is about Anti-Gmail Bill passed by the CA senate that limits Google on scanning their user's email. This is related to my final paper topic on privacy. So here is the link

Google API Website

Google's online photo publisher

If you look on Google's home page, a new feature has been installed which you can download for free. It's Google's Picasa Software. So if you have a digital camera, get CLICKING! Read more about this in the New York Times.

FROM LISA FORD- I have enjoyed taking the Search and The World Wide Web. It has been crazy because my blogger has been bogged down! It wouldn't let me blog! Then the stars and moon lined up and I am in! It has been interesting taking a business class that has been focused on teaching the classmates about terminology for the web.Not having to do the same old thing...RESEARCH!! I have learned about the supply and the demand of cyberspace, about google drills, the invisible web, search and mobile enviroments, and how to imagine what our search engines may look like for the future. As an IAS student I was a little bit scared of taking a web based class. But, Sandeep has made the class room enivorment warm, fun, collaborative, about team work, and my stress and learning has been enjoyable.(and no he didn't pay me to say this!) As a result, I have created a website (thanks Khambee for your help) and I am now doing a blog! For me as a non-business student, this is a major accomplishment! So for anyone wanting to learn more about innovative search engines and the terminology that encapsulates the world weide web, then this is the course to be in! MY HATS OFF TO SEARCH AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!
