3rd Week EIR!

Hey hey you you people reading this.. whats up! The 3rd week of EIR, we are ask to do a research about Google and Google Scholar. What are their weakness, Strengths. How effective the search is by, how relevant the search to the topic given. And by their features and functions.

1st of all Google provide us in Four type of language we can choose Malay, Mandarin, Indian and the main Language is English. For Google Scholar it only have English language.

Google when we search they give the result With the title of the website and the URL of the website and basic description of the topic we are finding.

Google Scholar will show the result, article name, author name, on which year the article is published. Google scholar search thing from many types of article. Its for article search. If u wanna search any article with best result you can use Google Scholar!

I like Google Search bar, because it has an auto prediction when we type halfway of the word unlike Google scholar we have to type all by ourself. Having the auto prediction makes things faster, while writing the word we see the word that the Google predict for us we can just click it without finishing typing what we want. 

I when to a forum to search for my topic. then i participated in the forum because i wanna encourage people to save the endangered animals. If we don't save endangered animals now, later our kids don't know what is tiger, polar bear and many more.

Why must do citation and bibliography? hmmm.. to me or some people out there will think the same, citation and bibliography is important so that we can prevent plagiarism. The authors who have done their own hard work  and effort for the research topic. It is so not cool and very wrong to just copy and paste their effort just like saying A,B,C.  We should acknowledge the authors when we use their resource by putting their book name or website URL. Say No To Plagiarism. Stay Original! ^_^!

Virtual Shopping!

Virtual Shopping! It's so complicated, since i'm new in 2nd life. I have a very had time to shop in the virtual world at 2nd life. I tot virtual shopping it should be more exciting, like you can try on the shirt before you buy the item. Since i have no money in 2nd life, i cannot buy anything or try any clothes on. I only can click on the item and tats all. can't really shop at virtual world because i dont have virtual money. In virtual shopping it's a bit like real world world shopping, where you have to walk to purchase the item. I prefer Online shopping at a website rather then virtual shopping. So here are some pictures i go for virtual shopping.



$500 to spen online shopping! weee

I got a fake $500 to spend for online shopping just for my EIR! hehe
If i got tat money i would like to buy as many sneakers as possible. For now i'm interested in Adidas sneakers!
One sneaker cost around $130.

I will and like to shop online at their original website. I shop at original website because i want my shoe to be original and not fake, so its worth the money.
At this website: http://www.miadidas.com/CustomizeShoe.action?ident=I1240573499135_ST&type=2 YOU can Customize your own sneakers by choosing the colour you want, then after that you can buy it! ^_^!
enjoy surveying the website.

Week 2 in EIR

hey hey this is my 2nd post for my EIR, this week in EIR is how to do research in internet using different types of search like searching for organisational website, blog, magazine/journal, discussion forum for my topic discuss the causes and effects of endangered animal species. I take this topic coz i would like to know more about animal since i know nothing about animals. I like to see cute animals or non-cute but interesting animals BUT scared to touch them. haha

Using Organisation website you will know everything about the topic. Organisation website has a video, pictures, events, places to go, we also can know who maintain the organisation/organisation website, we also can know why they do the website for. 

Searching my topic in magazine is kinda hard, because people didn't print magazine about endangered animal species in a whole magazine.they can have a topic in the magazine but not much info. To me searching my topic in magazine don't really help me that much.

Blog: searching info at blogs are interesting, we can know many type of of cool thing about the topic. Its a personal experience, we can see pictures and videos.

Forum: searching at a forum is hard. post at topic we wanna know more but some people comment on the post maybe out of topic and we cant really trust wat they say. so to me searching at forum for my topic its a big NO. 

This are my opinion for searching my topic, endangered animal species. ^_^ have a nice day ahead!!
