Week 5, Exercise #12 Rollyo

 At first, I had a little difficulty finding websites that I wanted to include on my rollyo.  I went in with the idea of creating a rollyo on ancient cultures (primarily Greek, Egyptian, and Roman and dealing w/ their history, art, architecture, belief systems , etc.) so when conducting searches I came up with a lot of wikipedia articles and about.com articles. Although it was informative, it really wasn’t what I was looking for.  Finally, I ended up hitting on sites specifically dedicated to those particular aspects of those particular cultures I was looking for.  I could see my rollyo being a useful tool, because in many ways it seem to act like a bloglines feed; basically information on the subjects you’re looking for are in an easy to find, organized place.

    I tried “visigoths”. The search worked really well!

    I separated them in my head. bloglines might be places you want to go everyday – or as often as something new pops up. For Rollyo I think might be something you do a lot of research on for school or a book you are writting.
