I really enjoyed exploring the "more" and "even more" sites on Google.
The program that I would recommend and that I would now use is "Google Scholar"
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature, this would be a great site for academic students. These are peer reviewed articles.

CPL 2.0 "Social Networking"
I personally think that Facebook and other social networking sites are a waste of time.
A personal interaction, telephone call or hand written letter are much more meaningful to me.
I would rather choose to read a book, see a movie, or attend a social function.
Families living in the same home, communicate through texting! People text on bus, in the movies, at work, in restaurants, anywhere and everywhere!
The "Art of Verbal Communication" has been lost! How very sad!
Society today are loosing their "Social Skills" to modern technology and with this will come regrets.

"Wikipedia"
I was not overly impressed with this site, very cluttered looking and because anyone can do editing, I would not feel confident about the accuracy of the information presented.
The topic that was obscure and not found by Wikipedia was the following:
Reeves MacDonald Mines, Ltd.
This mine in British Columbia was incorporated in 1928 and its commodities were mainly,
zinc, lead, silver and copper. This property is located at the junction of the Salmo and Pend D'Oreille rivers, approx. 56 kilometres south-southwest of Nelson B.C.
My dad was a miner who worked at this mine and we lived right at this site.
