Wet-paint is a very happening discussion website. It allows a group of people to post their research on a topic to the group's page. It has an easy-edit function which is really easy to use.

E-Learning

UIR has taught me how to use the Internet resources efficiently. There are different types of search engines like meta-search engines, subject directories. These functions allows me to search for information using keywords and getting the result in seconds. It is also available to anyone at anytime, which is very convenient. Going to the library and look for relevant books would be a hassle nowadays.
