Thing #12: Other Search Engines

I remember my college days of learning about the internet and how often I used Alta Vista and Web Crawler as search engines before Google. Now with Google I seldom use Alta Vista or Web Crawler. I decided to use these two search engines to find information about development in third world countries, and I did find good information from both search engines. I realized that Lycos and Yahoo are similiar in what it has on the homepage: lastest news, search bar, pictures, Hollywood happenings,most popular searches, and advertisement butI find that Yahoo's hits are similar to Google. Alta Vista, WebCrawler and Google are similar with just a quick search bar, but it seems that different hits came up for third world development. Perhaps the great thing about having search engines is that students can have more options.
