Hi Dr. Cyrus,
I found Cuil to be an interesting search engine; however, I did not like using twine. When entering the homepage, it makes new users join in order to search. Other search engines such as Wolfram and Kosmix were not that easy to access. Thank you for sharing these other search engines. You have opened up my computer experience to new and interesting experience.
Good Evening Dr. Cyrus:
I've looked in Kosmix and Cuil. Kosmix really gave me several things that can help me in my math discipline. I will definitely put it in my delicius page.
Hi Dr. Cyrus,
I have to say, I took a quick look at the sites you displayed but got stuck for an hour on Twine! I could probably waste an entire day browsing through that site! Thanks :)
Hi Dr. Cyrus!
I checked out these search engines. I really like Wolfram Alpha. I wish I knew about this during high school. I also tried Kosmix. Its like killing two birds with one stone. I just search for something and I get everything in one shot: articles, news updates, videos, pictures, etc. I love it!
Hi Dr. Cyrus!
I checked out the search engines you posted! I've got to say that Kosmix and Cuil are my favorites. I love Kosmix because when I search for a topic, not only does it give me websites but videos, pictures, expert advice, articles and a whole lot more! I also found Cuil to be an excellent tool because it really narrowed down my search and gave me a better range of relevant and primary websites for a topic I typed in. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING THESE SEARCH ENGINES TO ME! I wish I knew about them earlier in my previous classes because it would have helped a whole lot! Thanks again =]
*Sorry, forgot to type my name in the previous comment for you to recognize me, so I deleted it.

Hi Dr. Cyrus,
I tried out the search engines and I have to say I like Kosmix and OneRiot the best for topics. It allows you to view different articles and what I found most convenient was videos were right there at your finger tip. You do not have to open up another tab for youtube and start a search again.
I found Wolfram Alpha interesting for my early childhood major. I can type in a word and there are many fields such as rhyming words, synonyms, the history and definition of a word and much much more.
It is great to have more search engines to choose from. Thank you for sharing these sites. I would have continued using Google and youtube as my only source of research.
