RJA #8a: Websites

As a search engine, I used fazzle.com. I just simply typed in "big bang theory" and there were 14,800,000 hits. I found a new site I haven't seen for my topic before. it's an article on encarta.msn.com. The site is very helpful, and I will definately use it when writing my paper.
For multi search engines, i used info.com, and typed in Big Bang Theory -cbs -charlie sheen, and I found what I think is a very useful site through pbs.org. I bookmarked this in my delicious account. i also found a video that was rather interesting on youtube. Also using info.com, I came across an open letter to the scientific community. it wasn't too helpful, but there are some fun facts to use for my paper. I still posted it as a bookmark in my delicious account.
I went to the librians internet index to further search for information on my subject. I found a very interesting article I can use about a scientist who has a different theory on how the universe originated. Then I found a really neat webisite (http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/bb_home.html) which is about cosmology. there are different links you can click on for different brtanches of cosmology. it will be very useful.
I clicked on complete planet for invisible web search tools. However I really couldnt find any useful infor mation on my subject. With all of thease sites, I always go to science, then to astronomy, then to cosmology, and usually there are sites leading me to my subject, but this internet tool really didn't have much to offer me.
