Chris Nolan

I learned alot from Chris Nolan about using search engines. It surprised me at how major the percentage is of people who use Google as their search engine. A cool note was how google gets paid to put websites in the site bar for advertisement. Also, I did not realize how complicated and how much effort the people of Google put into their search engine. It's fascinating that Google ranks its sites based on key words searched, how many hits the site gets, and how many links the website has. I learned about what websites to look for when looking for certain information. Just like I would access a .com website for maybe a fan website, or less substantial material, but if I was searching for something more scholarly I would visit a .gov, or .edu site and if I was searching for a non-profit organization I would look for .org sites.
