Both search engines gave me useful links and site for information pertaining to my subject however the millions of results returned by Google was a big difference to the copernic search. Some results were similar. Copernic game me options on how to sort the results by score, date, site visited etc. Of note to me was that wikipedia scored in both searches. Interesting.

Both search engines gave useful information although googles extra search options at the bottom of the page were useful if I were looking for something specific like images, quotes, characters etc.

Module Four = Downloading tools / plug-ins Task

Looking through the options I already have a lot of the tools mentioned so I decided to download the following:

Copernic Meta for PC

Bookmark Buddy for Windows

Both were relatively simple to download.

Bookmark buddy for Windows seems relatively easy to use. It combines both sets of my bookmarks from both Internet Explorer and Firefox and could be a useful offline tool to refer back to web sites. It also tells me which sites have been used and favourites etc.

This tool is on a 30 day trial so although useful I can't see myself using to the extent where i would want to pay for it. Not when there are so many other free applications out there.

Copernic - Search Engine

Copernic offers a lot of different applications and a wide range of searching options.
In particular the email search interested me and I am looking into it further.
Also it has the ability to save your search results so that you don't need to go back through browsers to find other results.

Module Three - Legal Issues

After reading the material on the copyright website I then looked up the curtain home page and went to the A-Z index.

I followed the links to Curtain Policies and Procedures and found Logo Use Procedures.

http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/viewpolicy.cfm?id=959f55ad-fec2-11dc-b6c5-253dc30d60f2


Curtain logo is copyrighted and therefore unauthorised use is not allowed.

On my website I do not believe I have used anything that would break copyright laws. The images I have used were public domain and not copyrighted to the best of my knowledge.

Module One - Further Exploration

Having downloaded the Internet tool bar some time ago and running into some time issues I finally got back to it.

I opened it easily and it shows up on my desktop as follows



Firstly I tried a search which was easy to use and found the relevant information easily. After a little playing around I found I could search for various things such as the web, images etc.













This is a definite bonus as it eliminates having to open separate browsers for different requirements.

I found this toolbar to have vast amounts of information on it however feel it is going to take some time to work through it.

An example of some of them are as follows:


























The toolbar seems to have so much on it that I found it a bit overwhelming. I was jumping from such things such as system information, currency converter, language translator etc etc

I used the trace tool in the toolbar and got the following result.













The paths from my previous traceroute to this one were different however it is hard to compare as I am now using a different server from a different location. I did note however that some of the ip's were the same or very similar suggesting that the path is roughly following the same path.

This Internet toolbar certainly has some advantages to it and I can see why it would be so useful to get into the habit of using, especially for someone that has high levels of work and Internet use.

Module Three - Web 2.0

I feel Web 2 is about the Internet being more user friendly for the non computer literate. It is opening the world of communication and knowledge to anyone who has Internet access.

The Internet Communications Blinklist is a great way of storing information instantly. The comparison between it and a html written list is that you no longer have to store anything on your computer and upload through ftp. You can also briefly describe the link and give and opinion.

Probably given the choice blink list is something that is being constantly updated and would be the preferred choice of use. I only need one url to access the blink list.

Web 2 and and such applications as blink list is removing a time consuming process of storing and recording your sites and data. Especially if you want to send your sites on to other people.

Web 2 is the new user friendly Internet for everyone. There are very few things that a person could not achieve on line with most of the web 2 applications these days.

Module Three - blogs

Blogs can be very useful for any number and variety of reasons.

Some examples of this would be:

Personal recordings and reflection,
Journalism
Academic recordings
Advice manuals
or basically just about anything you could think off.

The lists of blogs appear to be endless. Blogs therefore are a great way of people expressing themselves, or getting information out there. Blogs can also generate business through such things as AdWords. There are lots of blogs on blogging and how to blog.

Blogging is like a worldwide arena for a person to express themselves.

There is no reason not to like blogs. They are easy to use for the non computer literate, often informative and you don't have to pursue topic you don't like.

Blogging is a quick and efficient way to publish and idea or opinion or knowledge.

Module Three - ftp

This task turned out to be more difficult that I original thought due to not having downloaded the VNP client advised by curtain. However once I overcame this small problem with the help from my classmates all was fine.

The ftp client was easy to use and I found where my files needed to go without a problems.

The url for my website is
