I have found the above websites under the different categories that Mr.Vj have asked us to do so. I didn't manage to find the advocacy website that is related to EA games. I guess it is really tough to get one as even Mr.Vj said so but it would be really interesting if i could ever find one. I think the business/marketing website would really be useful for the EA fans. As the websites provide services where games can be brought online or a more efficient way where games could be downloaded directly straight into computer.

I have learnt about the different search engines that are available online as previously i mainly uses yahoo as my search engine. But during the lesson, Mr V.J showed us a webpage where it search engine are ranked. And to my surprise, google is the most popular search engine used by people. As i thought Yahoo would be the most popular one. After that we get to search the different type of webpages and i chose wedding for the topic. I get to know some of websites that i found are really useful to couples that are getting married. They consist a lot of information that are necessary to the couple's marriage. I could say these websites are really helpful and integrated with interesting ideas.
