Getting information is very crucial. im sure you know that if you needed information, you essentially would use the internet to find this information faster. granted the information is faster but theres just way to much information in front of you. like most people you will panic. well some well known search engines such as www.google.com or www.yahoo.com have emplimented ways to refine the information thats dispalyed in front of you. to be honest i feel that this is just as good as sliced cheese. its great that all the information that you need is in front of you but if your not able to pick out any of the information, you might as well have just let someone sit in front of you and yell out all the information that you have found in your face. so what i’m getting at is that its a necessity to refine your search results so that its easier for you to decipher what you need. using plus signs and quotation marks are some of the few things that i will have to learn. (click here). its nice to find some sites like this, it will be nice to have the knowledge in the future if for some reason i cannot find the information on a certain website i am now able to quickly move to the next to get the same information just as fast by using different strokes. quickly its becoming a need to have information more refined than what we already have. yahoo is coming up with a way to give the same information but with a diffrent look. (click here). and theres even web browser add ons that can now refine searching. but with the approach that yahoo is taking i think its some where in the right approach. its almost as if your looking at yellowpages.com or something but with information thats related into a veriety of diffrent things vs. getting information on just a business number or location. personally i think having a web browser add-on and this different look of the information will need to become one sometime in the near future. because people will become more needy and dependent on their setup of the information vs just finding certain over view of things. basically you would have your own way of looking at the information being displayed to your standards, but not to forget having the information brought to you in a way that you can grasp and more detailed and descriptive i believe that this approach would help when trying to “trap information”. At the moment things are moving quickly in the ways of trapping information. but to me i think it needs to be more advanced at where we are at in this tech world.

I completely agree with you that search engines need to be more specified at what you are searching for. I hate hwen i try finding info on a subject and i get a bunch of stuff with no relevance.
After reading other blogs and comments, it seems like we are all frustrated with the ammount of “stuff” we get when we’re searching on a topic. It’s going to be up to us to change that. Just think, we’re a small percentage of the population. If all of us are frustrated, you know many others are too.
