A search engine is a website that uses many urls to help you find a web page you are looking for. a prime example of this is Google. Google is the best well known search engine on the web or at-least in the uk and usa. This site allows you to search for any website you are looking for or any query or suggestion and it shall come back with a large selection of hyperlinks to different web pages with your search key words in connection to the page.



we went on flickr and got to search some images on flickr
The difference between flickr and google is the pictures on flickr have been taken by people
and the pictures on google are animated aswell as edited. Flickr uses real pictures that have not been edited to my knowledge. the pictures on flickr are mainly seen as blog photo's. once the user has uploaded a picture others view the pictures and comment on them making a form of "photo blog". on google the photo's are taken from all over the web and terned into hyperlinks aswell as pictures you may copy and paste as you please.

today in class we checked out and analyzed different  video sharing web sites. the first one most of the class including me checked out was Youtube.com.

www.youtube.com - you tube is a great website where you can find almost any sort of video whether it is to help you do something or just simply to listen to music it has a wide variety of videos. The site also allows you to create an account and upload videos of your own and also giving you the choice to follow other video makers. you can rate, add to favorites and leave comments on the makers profile and video. In a sense you can use you tube to contact people so it may be used a s a social networking site if thats what you want to use it for. you tube also has a legal copyright act on videos this means if you make a video and upload it on you tube with a sound track on it youtube will scan the track to see if it is an copyright offense. if in some case it is they shall remove the track from you video but leave the video uploaded. 

google video's - Google videos gives you very little choice in comparison to you tube but it does have a fair range of choice. unlike you tube Google video's does not let you comment or rate a video but only watch. the site does however allow you to upload a video if you have an account with google. the quality on google video's is not the best but is ok for small screen viewing.

today we also had a go at Photoshop editing software and personally im not keen on the layout or the functions. we edited pictures
