My first attempt was to look for a gov site that was related to my topic. I played around with the key words again, using (mobile OR "cell phones") AND protect suburl:gov
There is no author for this site.

Title Article: Lawmakers Question Cell Phone Privacy in Wake of Hacking Scandal.
Posted July 14 2011
This site talks about how congress needs to look more into the security issues of cell phones. It wants the public to know that this issue is becoming big and the government needs to step in. A scandal with a company hacking into politicians phones has brought attention to the issue.
This activity was a bit difficult for me because I had to play around a lot with keywords for the Gigablast search engine. It was good to use the domain specific search, and Gigablast's method was different then googles. I got more hits with the .com and .org searches, but the .edu and .gov were tough to really find much of anything for this topic.
Hi, Tan:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the report. It's interesting how each search engine filters the results. Using a domain level search limit can be an effective way to focus your search. Your topic lends itself to more "how to" information and you identified several useful websites. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse is a great website to be aware of as an advocacy group and watchdog organization.
Cheers,
Andrea
