Google, one of the most popular search engines that every one of us is familiar with. So popular that when we said we are conducting research, we will actually say we are going to google it. This wordle displayed all the other alternative search engines we can use besides Google. These engines conduct specific searches, like only pictures, music, movies, social profiles etc. One of the most appealing one for me is Dogpile. I really like the layout of the search engine (in this case, I do judge a book by its cover), and it combined all the search engines together to make researching more advancing and easy. I also really like Tunefind. Isn't it frustrated when you hear a song from a movie or a drama episode that you really like, but you can never find the song title of it? Tunefind saves us the trouble! Just look for the drama/movie you were watching then you can look up the songs. It can be a very convenient website. The last one is Picsearch, the name is very self explanatory. If you look for a certain subject, it gives you variety of pictures that's related (compare to Google's... which provided too many unrelated pictures!). Appropriate and pretty, Picsearch is definitely a win for searching images off Internet.
