1. Which search facility/ies did you use?

• Yahoo Singapore
• Yahoo

• Cancer personal website

3. What are the major differences amongst the three types of websites?

• organisational- created and maintained by a particular organization, interest in facts relating to it, links to other related sites and services.
• subject-based- subject focus, overlap between these and the organizational sites or the personal sites.

My two favourite links are VH1 and MTV because they contain entertainment news that keeps me occupied whenever I get bored.
