Going Far Beyond Google When Searching

Hi All,

Just found an interesting site from OEDb - Open Education Database - titled 'Research Beyond Google: 56 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources'.

Basically the site discusses the Deep Web and various subject specific resources that will help you do your research quicker, more effectively and with better search results. Topis include Art, Books Online, Business, Consumer, Economic-Job Data, Finance-Investing, General Research, Government Data, International, Law-Politics, Library of Congress, Medical-Health, STEM and Transportation.

When you go to a particular site, you'll find a brief one or two sentence summary and a link to the site.  Simple and really, quite intuitive to use.

Enjoy the links and the site.

Vocative - The Deep Web Revealed

Hi All,

Vocative. Yes - its a website. Yes - its a real word.  Yes - here's the link.

What is Vocative you ask? Indeed - a good question to be sure.  Its a news website with a difference. 

"As the site itself puts it, " Vocativ is a media and technology venture that explores the deep web to discover original stories, hidden perspectives, emerging trends, and unheard voices from around the world. Our audience is the young, diverse, social generation that wants to share what’s interesting and what’s valuable. We reach them with a visual language, wherever they are naturally gathering....

At the heart of Vocativ is our exclusive technology, a place where science meets storytelling. More than 80% of the Internet sits beyond the grasp of Google, in an area called the deep web. Vocativ explores this vast, uncharted space, which includes everything from public forums and databases to social platforms and commerce sites."

Okay. with all that out of the way, exploring Vocative is fun, easy and well, educational.  The top of the homepage has a ribbon with links to Video, News, USA, World, Underworld, Tech, Money, Culture and Photos. 

As users can see, the site does not shy away from the controversial topics of the day.  Click here to see the Vocativ FAQ - the section on FAQ's to answer your questions about the site...

Enjoy the deep web news reports!
