This is the first time i am using an invisible web database at http://spark.tp.edu.sg I think it is more effective to search the invisible web database than search engine, metasearch and directory if you are finding information of a specialised topic. Since invisible web database are a collection of information collected by non organisations and professionals. This means that the informations are highly accurate as it is maintained by trustworthy governements departments or organisations and maintaining an invisible web database is very expensive. Since not everyone in the world can access it, informations found from the database is is less likely to be fake. The information may also be alot better as it is not stored in any search engine database or the web.
I think I will use the invisible web for my diploma which is interactive media informatics because i may not know how use the programs that we are suppose to use in order to create animations. Therefore i am sure that the invisible web can help me out as search engines and meta search only talk about programming briefly as those links they provide are just forums or small websites. Informations found from invisible web will be more specialised and also written by professionals and its also up to date as people are paid to maintain it.
The wiki experience was amazing! It allow me to share any resources, pictures, links and information i found out with others that are interested in the same topic as me which is discussing the role of design in the global go-green movements. Knowledge will be shared among people, I may even learn stuff from their information they put up as sometimes people will miss out important bits of valuable information when searching the web as the results may not be generated. There are alot of benefits about wiki but the disadvantage is that anyone can edit and provide information that may be false and untrue. Providing false information will just mislead people.
