GOOGLE-MEDLINEPLUS CHALLENGE

I choose Autism as my topic to search in Google and Medlineplus. I was very surprise with the different results I got. The search with Google was very fast and easy, I just had to type Autism in the search field. The results were so many excellent variety web pages with out going to links. Looking at the top ten results the top three hits were dot org, three dot gov, two dot com, and two more dot org.

Searching the topic Autism on Medlineplus was easy and quick but the results or hits were not diverse. The top three hits were the same web page addresses. Eight of the hits were dot gov and two of them dot org. There were many sponsored links.

Google seems to have the ability to bring from diverse sources unlike Medline. I would probably start with Medline to get information from concentrated sources then go to Google to find sources from variety sources.
