Here is the overview of UIR practical 4 & 5:
My topic is the 2-Factor Authentication and it is the same for my individual project.
The followings are the search engine, meta search engine and subject directories.
Search Engine:
http://www.google.com/ with size of hits of 260,000
URL of the resource:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authenticationMeta Search Engine:
http://www.metacrawler.com/ with size of hits of 54
URL of the resource:
http://www.tri-dsystems.com/?gclid=CO6lye-P7o8CFRc4TQodnwVrJgSubject Directories:
http://dir.yahoo.com/?skw=yahoo+directoryURL of the resource:
http://www.wikidsystems.com/My keyword used for all the findings are the same, it is "2-factor authentication".
The results i found from all the 3 different search facilities are almost the same. It will first talk about what a 2-factor authentication is about, then talk about it's functions and benefits. Then about which bank is using it now and etc...
This research helps me realize that there are different search facilities to use for research. Previously I only know of a search engine which is google.com. I have totally no idea what Meta search engine and subject directories are.

Here's the summary for my Practical 1. I've chosen Music as the topic and Popular Music as the aspect of the question.
Newsgroups and discussion list:
http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/pop-music/Here is where people talk and comment about their favourite music and favourite singer.
Electronic journal and magazine:
http://www.rollingstone.com/Here is a popular music online magazine called Rolling Stone that features the artist information and songs.
Multi-media source:
http://www.youtube.com/Here is where the videos and music are shown to public, people can download or upload their favourite songs and videos to this website.
WWW site:
http://www.sogua.com/Here is where all popular music are found, some people download it. However, some would prefer to buy the original CD.
It is interesting to know that there are so many musical websites in the net. I can easily learn more about the history of popular music as well as listening to music online.

Yoz What's Up Hunks and Babes!!!
I'm currently studying Financial Business Informatics in Temasek Polytechnic. Year 2.2...
By the way, i've just learnt how to create blog today! so clever! Taught by my animal frens... hehe... If it's not for my UIR lesson, i wouldn't have created one for myself coz it's kinda troublesome to me.
I'm still in my holiday mood recently although this is my 3rd week of school. I like sight-seeing too BUT not in the water! hahahaha... ***shooting arrow***
Hope i'll enjoy writing all my thoughts in this blog coz sometimes i'm just lazy to type...
