RJ-4; Summary

While looking up 'nearly' the same topic (depending on exact search statement) the four domains differed in both 'native style' and results. The least liked or usable for academic or research purposes was the 'dot-com' domain. The information pointed at was 'useful' or on topic, but the search results focused on items, electronic or otherwise, that were for sale. The focus was on availability, not content. There was an interesting difference of the dot-edu, and dot-org sites. The dot org sites was a mixture of 'info' disseminating type journals, forums for problem solving and 'adware' laden bulletin board/info specific sites. The dot-gov sites provided direct links to govt. agencies, fbi, national 'computer' and 'internet security' issues related sites. These sites were helpful in dissemination of topics related to 'security' issues. The only detriment to the sites were that in trying to authenticate, content and links were strong, but 'authorship' just seemed sparse. References were made to 'directors' and subordinates, but this is common info that can be looked up elsewhere. Larry B.
