Categorizing search engines

Google is an excellent search engine that can focus on images, shopping, news, and so on. Some other search engines cluster the search results according to category, which cuts down the number of internet sites you need to look at. Some clustering search engines are iBoogie, KartOO, and Vivisimo. Out of these, KartOO is the most aesthetically fascinating.

The photo touch

This weekend, I started to set up my new website, Second Language Writing, where I plan to move this blog. For starters, I used Yotophoto, a search engine for free photos, to collect pictures of writing in different languages, and then I put them into a Flickr badge. These software tools help to add a nice photo touch to one's website.

Anne Davis (Edublog Insights) posted about Yotophoto, the first search engine for finding free photos and images on the Internet.

Another of Pogue's articles mentioned Podscope.com, who has created "the first search engine that can find podcasts according to the words spoken during them."

This weblog is primarily to help focus my students on concepts, assignments, and technology that we are covering or eventually will do. It will cover what we have done and where we are headed. And it will chronicle my own learning processes with technology and writing. If you'd like to comment, please do. If you'd like to read more theoretical discussions, go to my blog Explorations in learning (see below).
