General Discussions

Here's what's happening:
For one of my Information Resources classes at my University, my main project is writing a term paper on my selected topic (I chose Information Retrieval).

Now get this:
We are suppose to gather the bulk of our information by choosing a research audience and asking them questions on specific retrieval methods (such as search engines and directories). And I decided to choose WT as my primary data gathering tool and community.

So basically, all my college homework research and questions will involve spending time on Webmaster-Talk and starting great threads and discussions.

How awesome is this?

Wow! How what a tough assignment

I guess we are guinea pigs.

Will your paper mention evil avatars?

Retrieval method? I used to send my dog out to get the paper when I was a kid...until it got too cold outside, and then I sent my mom out to do it instead.

Does that count?

This thread reminds me of choosing essay topics back in school, I'd pick something that didn't actually involve straying from my normal routines at home, for example: "the social and economic impact of MMO's"
