Online Storage

The company that I chose to evaluate is Photobucket. The reason that I chose photobucket is because I am very familiar with the site because I use it myself. I use it to upload pictures on my own personal websites such as facebook or myspace. Photobucket makes it very easy to share pictures with friends and family. It is also very helpful because it gives you the HTML codes automatically to post a picture on the web.

On a basic photobucket account it holds up to 1 GB of photos, videos and slideshows. Photobucket also allows their users to share their photos through Facebook, email, and even MySpace. Photobucket also offers a “Go Pro” account where you can pay 3 dollars a month or 25 dollars a year for a 5GB of space. This type of account also offers more features such as editing features that the standard account does not offer.

Some of the pros to online storage are that you can access your account from anywhere, and show your pictures to anyone from any computer. Another pro is that it is easy from anyone all around the world to access you account. This is a pro when you want your loved ones or friends to access your pictures, but a con if an individual you don’t want to access your account such as an online predator will be able to see your account unless its has a lock on it. Another con is it is internet based and if you are unable to access the internet you can not see your pictures. Also, if for some reason the internet company crashes or has technical difficulties you may loose your pictures and not be able to get them back.

Searching The Web : Saved by the Bell!

Google.com is not the only search engine available to find what you are looking for on the web. There are sites such as Yahoo.com, Dogpile.com and Alltheweb.com. The websites available are countless and obtain pages and pages of information right at your fingertips. I have decided to skip the site that I always go to search the web which is Google.com and try out something different and see how it goes. I've decided to search Saved by the Bell on Yahoo.com.

When I searched my topic, I put 'Saved by the Bell' in the search bar. When I hit enter I got 21,500,000 hits in .12 seconds! The first site URL that came up was www.imdb.com/title/tt0096694. This website was the best hit in the top ten. It outlined the premise of the television show and it's characters.

The criteria I entered into the search engine produced relevant results because the first 10 sites were useful. To revise my search to get less hits I would search a more specific topic in relation to Saved by the Bell such as 'Kelly on Saved by the Bell' so search my favorite character.
