Searching News
Google News and WN networks are very similar. they both offer news from around the world and gives all the current events. they both have images to go with the stories they wrote about. Some differences are the layouts between the two. google is plain and white and WN networks is colorful and more interesting to look at. google allows the site to be translated into any language. Both sites have different categories on the left side to use to search the sites and they both have search boxes to search the sites also. Google gives more links to go to and collect more information so i feel that google would be most useful but they both are great sites and give good information.
Searching for People
1. A) yes, i looked up my great grandma Irene Thies
B) switchboard.com
C) switchboard.com is the one i found to be the most current and the some of the other ones would list her previous addresses.
2. I think it is fine having her information on the internet i think i is a great way for people that she has lost contact with to have a way to reconnect with her if they choose. i dont think its harmful.
3.A)The list of resources offered at the SuperPage site are Restaurants, Hotels, Florists, Physicians, Surgeons, Car Dealers, information on other cities and for searching people or businesses.
B) I think SuperPages is easier to get around and the information pops right up and they dont give you extra information just the basics.
C) When I typed in the number in the reverse look up finder i was able to find my boyfriends mother Connie Hofer.
4. This site provides people tons of information: phone number, e-mail, address, and maps for directions.
