Inside My Search Engine

From looking at my history and studying where I visit and how I specifically use all my website, I only see a few sites here and there. Varying from facebook.com, blackboard.du.edu, webcentral.du.edu, stumbleupon.com, youtube.com, backcountry.com, REI.com, and various web links that are for my classes and their homework assignments. On the websites of facebook.com and stumbleupon.com, not only do I read and watch certain contexts, but also at times I am asked to actually interact with the content of the site. Either I will be asked to type something, play along with a game, make a video, take a picture, or even analyze something that is in front of me on the screen. Compared to the other sites, these two sites contain more than one action that is needed of me. For instance, on backcountry.com and REI.com, all I simply do is look at snowboarding gear and topics that surround skiing. On the other hand, blackboard.du.edu and webcentral.du.edu are only used for school and viewing assignments and grades. So, in a sense, the four previous sites do have the concept of looking things up, as their thing in common. I simply use those web sites to gain knowledge about a certain topic that I am at the time interested in, or need to be interested in. Lastly, the only web site that I visit that is simply only used for visual, and that is youtube.com.
