Reflection on Invisible Web Usage

For my search topic Changes and Trends of “Mobile Phone Photography”, WARC only obtained 21 results whereas the search engine, Google, obtained 86,600,000 results. Also, WARC only obtained two forms of information – articles and research papers whereas Google obtained various forms of information – reports, news article, essay, blogs etc. This shows that WARC is lack of information in compared to the search engine, Google.
WARC:
Google:
For the search results obtained by WARC are all irrelevant to the information I want to obtain whereas Google obtained relevant information.

Therefore, I don’t think the invisible web, World Advertising Research Center (WARC) is more effective than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories.


The reason why I choose, World Advertising Research Center (WARC) database rather than the rest datebases is because, WARC  contains real-life case studies and campaign videos from around the world. WARC provides the latest information and cutting-edge thinking in the areas of marketing, advertising and communications.

EIR - Ice Breaker

I am Huh Eui Lim, currently studying in Temasek Polytechnic Diploma in Interactive Media Informatics(IMI), School of Informatics & IT. I am a Korean, thus my name is quite hard to pronounce. You may think that it's pronounced as huh-u-lim, but it's actually 허의림. Well, I would prefer to be called by my chinese name, Yiling.

One of my hobbies is reading. I don't have any specific author that I fancy but I definitely get hooked onto any book with interesting title. I like watching dramas online, especially Korean dramas as I find Korean artistes are good looking and have great fashion sense.

My favourite celebrities are Big Bang and 2NE1. I think that they are talented and their music are unique and different from the rest. One of my favourite movie is "Rocky Balboa", as I think that the speech he gave is meaningful and it inspired me a lot. My favourite part of the speech is : " If you know what you’re worth, go and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. "



One metaphor that best describes me is "stubborn as a mule." I am a stubborn person, no one can change my decision once I've set my mind to it. Well, it might be a good thing as it means that I will pursue what I want til the end. My EIR goal is to do well for it and get a good result.
