By dara252

1. Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are all search engines.

2. The first website listed on Google was Slightlystoopid.com and with Yahoo i got the same first website. Ask.com i also got Slightlystoopid.com

3. From previous experience i have found Google and Ask.com to be good search engines. However i normally use Google. With searching the band i got most of the same results with each search engine, but Google seemed to have the most results.

4. Google- The first website listed on Barack Obama was BarackObama.com and it was his official presidential campaign website. Then when i searched Sarah Palin, i got image results for her, but the website under that was wikipedia on Sarah Palin. For the Rolling Stones i got Therollingstones.com which is their online official fan club. When i searched Britney Spears i got MLive.com which was a website talking about Britney Spears at the VMAs.  The first website that came up for Jazmine Sullivan was the link to her myspace page.

Yahoo- When searching Barack Obama on Yahoo, i got the same first website as i did with Google; Barackobama.com which is his presidential campaign website. For Sarah Palin i got Indecision2008.com which is some comedic website about Sarah Palin. When i searched The Rolling Stones i go t Therollingstones.com, the same as Google, and it is a fan club website. When looking up Britney Spears on Yahoo i got a different first result of a website then Google. The website was Worldofbritney.com and that website features blogs,currant pictures and is a fan site. Again for Jazmine Sullivan i got her myspace link.

Ask.com- When i searched for Barack Obama on Ask.com i also got his campaign website, barackobama.com. For Sarah Palin, a different website came up called JohnMcCain.com.Palin which tells you more about Sarah Palin and her role as vice president for John McCain. When i searched The Rolling Stones, i got Sfae.com which contains prints from San Fransisco Art Exchange. For Britney Spears i got website about Britney at the VMAs. The website was MTV.com/VMA. Unlike Google and Yahoo, when i searched Jazmine Sullivan, i got jazminesullivanmusic.com which allows you to listen to a new song she has.

5. The search results for Wikipedia on Yahoo, Google and Dogpile all give you the same results. The website that comes up is the wikipedia homepage and it gives you a variety of languages to operate the online encyclopedia. When i clicked on the link on Mr. Bjerke’s blog, i got the purpose of wikipedia, a definition of how and what the site does. I found that Yahoo, Google, and Dogpile all gave me the same results when searching wikipedia on those search engines.
