My first web page, most likely my last
This activity to me was frustrating. I do not think I will be doing anything like this again any time soon. Though I thought it was cool to see how the computer works with its self to get the all the information and how it displays it. It just seemed pretty complicated to me when it did not need to be. Even after doing it, I feel like I do not really know what I did. Or how exactly it works. I know I basically used html code to set up the way a web page looks.

The Search Is On
A) Search Engine Used: Google
I believe this source is credible, above all I believe it because it is an EDU site. But this article is also a recent article which proves its timeliness, this article also contains a bunch of sources to help back its point, this also shows credibility.
2) Zhulei Tang, Yu (Jeffrey) Hu, Micheal D. Smith, Protecting Online Privacy: Self-Regulation, Madatory Standards, or Caveat Emptor, April 2005, 33pgs, http://infosecon.net/workshop/pdf/31.pdf
This article is a science article written by accredited people in their field. This article shows timeliness as well as a vast number of sources which back what it says.
3) USA.gov, Know the Risks, Reviewed last June 05, 2013, June 2013, http://www.usa.gov/topics/family/privacy-protection/online.shtml
This source is from this year. This is also a government website so we know that the information shared on it is credible information. This article also has good coverage and the information does work along side other information that I have found.
4) Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Online Privacy: Using the Internet Safely, July 1995, Revised June 2013, June 2013, https://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs18-cyb.htm
This site has plenty of sources to back up the information. This site also has good coverage, it follows a lot of information that other sites have. This shows to me that this site is a pretty credible source.
I think that the .gov, .net and even the .edu were the best sources for the information that I am trying to get. I think this because they tend to have the most reliable sources for many reasons. They also tend to be easier to credit, and the information they provide is on the level that I need and want, A more professional/educated l level.
B ) Advanced Search, (online OR internet) AND privacy AND protection
C) 1) Santa Clara University, Privacy and the Law, June 2012, June 2013, http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/focusareas/technology/internet/privacy/privacy-law.htmlI believe this source is credible, above all I believe it because it is an EDU site. But this article is also a recent article which proves its timeliness, this article also contains a bunch of sources to help back its point, this also shows credibility.

The Right Tools
Search Tools
EXALEAD
Never heard of this. But I do not know of very many out there to be honest.
With this search engine you can search the web, images, videos, Wikipedia and more.
This engine has a few large logo-ed links at the bottom of the page that you can click, such as the labs one which I found interesting. When you search for something very little ads come up which I like. When searching a phrase such as hats or visors all things that contain one or both of these words come up. It also has a related searches area, I cannot seem to find any advanced search area though. Over all I liked this one, I think it might be just as useful as google in the beginning stages of research.
Metasearch Tools
Dogpile
I have never heard of this one either. This one has little tabs on the search engine with the following choices to search within; web, images, video, news, local, and white pages. This search engine has an advanced search as well as a preferences link. It appears that this search engine gets its results from google, yahoo and yandex. This search engine has an area at the left that suggests things that you may be looking for. In preferences you can change what kind of results you are looking for, more like a filtration system though then a more specific search. In the advanced search it has good ways to split up what you are looking for, this could be a good search engine to use when you are trying to find the bulk or middle section of your research.
Subject Directories
The WWW Virtual Library
Again I picked this one because I had never heard of it before. When you first arrive at this search site you are given lists of topics that you can choose from. After selecting the topic you want it brings you to some more choices for what it is that you want to know more about. Specific choices, once you have clicked one of those then it brings up a description of that thing. A history and origin, shows when it was last updated. and some related articles within the site that might also be helpful. I think this type of search would only be helpful if you were looking for something very particular.
