In this practical thus far, I have learnt that there are many forms of internet resources. Some of them are Blogs & Wikis, Online Forums, Newsgroups, Mailing/ discussion lists, and Full-text documents. Moreover, they exist for a different purpose. ie. Information, Advocacy, Business/Marketing, News, Personal, Entertainment.
I have also learnt that the term “Wiki” also refers to the collaborative software (wiki engine) that supports the operation of such a website and that "wiki” is a short version of the Hawaiian term "wiki wiki", meaning "quick" or "fast". It is also an interesting fact that "Wiki" is sometimes intrepreted as “What I know is”.
I have also learnt that using keywords, wildcards, Boolean operators and phrase-searching further refines my search. These search functions helps make a search more efficient!
