Google vs. Nettrekker

2008-12-10T09:42:00.000-08:00

Google:
-I felt that Google was a little worse than Nettrekker because Google has info of everything that is anything.
-My keywords were ineffective on Google because they were too broad. I came up with a lot of random things that did not help my topic.
-I felt that if I used a full sentence or a lot more specific detail, I might be able to get something useful out of it.

Nettreker:
-In Nettrekker, my keywords were a little too specific. I got a but more helpful info out of it than Google, but it still didn't come up with anything that was my topic.
-My keywords came up with things that were close to my topic, but were not my topic. If I used a keyword that was less specific, I think I would come up with better topics.

Questions

Zombie Attack?

2008-10-14T09:39:00.000-07:00

This Zombie attack is invalid because there are many different things posted apart of that that are very fake. The Zombie Survival Guide is fake because it does not post any real evidence of zombies.

But, I do think that the virus called Solanum is real because it has been proven that it was inside the person's brain. But the zombies did not actually appear or hurt other people.

Scorcher6

2008-10-14T09:29:00.000-07:00

This movie does not seem valid because there has not even been a Scorcher 1. Now they are trying to pass of a Scorcher 6. I also looked it up on Google, Wikipedia, and a lot of other sources, and none came up. Rotten Tomato also had nothing on it about Scorcher 6.

Tree Octopi

2008-10-14T09:08:00.000-07:00

This site is obviously fake because no one has ever heard of a tree octopus. Also, does Sasquatch exist? NO. It has been scientifically proven that Sasquatch is a fictional character only in stories.

Text:

Why are Sasquatch allowed to gather Tree Octopuses if the octopuses are endangered?

No one allows a Sasquatch to do anything; they just do it.

Sasquatch have been gathering Tree Octopuses since before Humans settled in their habitats. They form a symbiotic relationship. We value our limbs and don't question this.

From: http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/faq.html

I also Googled: Octopus paxarbolis. Which is the "scientific" word given to the octopi. I looked it up in Wikipedia and fund that it was a fictitious creature from an internet hoax made by Lyle Zapato in 1998.
