Google Search

There are tons of web sites and services that provide you search services for your needs. But sometimes its just too many and at times you don’t get what you want. This is because you are not using the right service at the right time. This guide is basic and is meant for newbies. So if you consider yourself a newbie, I’m sure this would help. Listed below are 5 best search services that I would personally recommend.

  • Google - This would be the best search engine for web sites and blogs of your search terms. There are people who would use Yahoo for instance but I certainly would not recommend that at all. Yahoo is too messy and its search term results are not appropriate. Google has a better bot that crawls flawlessly. Hence providing you the best and closest results. 
  • Flickr - Instead of using Google image search, use Flickr. Flickr provides you a pool of professional snapped images and most of the time you are in need of high quality images. If you are specifically searching for good images for your projects and assignments, Flickr is your choice.
  • Technorati - Technorati is a place for you if you are interest in the blogosphere. Basically every blog in this world is pinged to this services. You may find your interest by searching tags term of your choice. Normally all blog post would be tagged to specific terms that makes it easier for you to find what you want. 
  • Alltop - Don’t you have time to search or to know what’s latest ? Perhaps you do not know a reliable source of web sites that could provide you informations ? Then use Alltop. Alltop is a news aggregator site that mash-ups RSS feeds from reliable and famous website into various topics. This then allows you to select a particular topic and to know what’s latest in a top 5 chronology. For more, all you have to do is click on the website/blog title and it would redirect you to the respective site. 
  • Youtube - Even though you are a newbie, I’m pretty sure you would have heard about youtube sometime around. If you have not, its not a big deal. Youtube is a community powered web 2.0 video sharing service. People from all over the world upload favorite videos of theirs and its searchable. You may even upload your own videos. If you are finding some videos for your references or entertainment, youtube has sufficient content today which would simply fulfill your needs.
