In Chris Nowlan's presentation I learned that google is a valid search tool. Because it is so expansive it has a lot of good information. I learned how Google searches by title, the actual information, and how many websites are linked to it. This not only ensures quality but also the quantity of the information provided. In addition it has many option so that specific documents can be found; such as books and scholarly journals. While google can be a useful tool it should be used more for the first search engine. Other search engines have more information on each specific topic which is better for research. Also there is a difference between how each search engine views sites. Some may put more emphasis on the three different categories. My favorite part of google is how it can be personalized. From changing the terminology to things to pirate lingo or any a lot of other interesting lingo.
