Chris Nolan

Chris Nolan talked to us today and he spoke about the credibility o Web Pages. The largest search engine is Google, followed up by Yahoo. When we search something in the Internet, the results that appear first are there not by casuality but because they have been linked the most times with your search, and thsy have been what people are most likely looking for in previous searches over the same topic. Google gets all their money through the advertisements that appears in their Web Pages.
What I learned today that I thought was pretty cool was the idea that you can limit your search in the Advanced Search tab, this helps you find information that is actually usefull to you. Also Google Scholar is a great tool to use because it gives you academic information.
What I found really surprising was what JCPenny did to get to appear in the first positions of any type of search.
It was a cool lecture and also a helpful one!
