Surfing the Web with Chris Nolan

Thanks to Chris Nolan for an insightful presentation on the search engines that I use on a daily basis. If I can continue with the surfing metaphor from the title, when I had been using these search engines, I was only seeing the surface of the water. I learned that me and 60% of the other internet users surf in Google's sea and Chris Nolan showed me all of the wonderful things that live below the surface of the water. There's that fish that looks like a minus sign, and whatever you type after it is excluded from your search, also any fish that are caught in quotation marks have to appear exactly in the order that they were typed in your search. I was also taught to be on the lookout for fish that may not be reliable sources to quote in research papers. I should look to see who produced the fish and what kind of credentials they have. Maybe the coolest thing that Chris Nolan showed us was that tool that shows which fish that appear in the Google Sea also appear in the Yahoo Sea, and their importance in each sea.
