HeadlineSpot Bookmark These Five Great Deep Web Research Resources - The Helen Brown Group It’s really valuable to keep an eye on (and share!) the tools our colleagues in allied fields are using to do their research. This past week I stumbled upon these five great resources I wanted to share with you. First off, I’d like to mention two books, the Verification Handbook for Investigative Reporting and the Verification Handbook; a Definitive Guide for Verifying Digital Content, both edited by Craig Silverman a leading expert on media errors, accuracy and verification, and (among other things), founder of Emergent and former fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. Both books are available free to download in pdf format – scroll down the page here – or you can purchase them if you prefer hard copies. Private investigator Tamara Thompson’s PI Buzz weekly blogroll of her favorite (and usually free) web research links always has something worth looking into. What other resources have you found from allied professions?
Deepweb.to | your entry to the Deep Web, Darknet, Onionland, Tor, Hidden Wiki, Deepweb The 10 Tools of Online Oppressors - Reports SAN FRANCISCO In reporting news from the world’s most troubled nations, journalists have made a seismic shift this year in their reliance on the Internet and other digital tools. Blogging, video sharing, text messaging, and live-streaming from cellphones brought images of popular unrest from the central square of Cairo and the main boulevard of Tunis to the rest of the world.

The Internet map Similar Images Update - Web Search Help This is amazing - a really welcome update. Thankfully it doesn't appear to be April Fools! As for feedback, one thing I found: When you run a search and click 'Similar' you get a list of similar images; but if you edit the query in the search box, it forgets the 'similar to' image. I've found I can edit the URL, to change the query (q) without loosing the "similar to" image. Seems to work, even if the original image no longer matches the query, you still match its 'visual style' :) This is useful for refining the query, you find roughly the right type of image, but want to refine the matching keywords to narrow down or even broaden the search terms. As another more 'lofty' feature request, would love to see the "similarity" data, used to deduplicate results. (I wouldn't be surprised to learn that something like this already happens, but it would be nice to turn on a more explicit filter when you wanted)
Deep Web Search Engines Where to start a deep web search is easy. You hit Google.com and when you brick wall it, you go to scholar.google.com which is the academic database of Google. After you brick wall there, your true deep web search begins. You need to know something about your topic in order to choose the next tool. To be fair, some of these sites have improved their index-ability with Google and are now technically no longer Deep Web, rather kind-of-deep-web. However, there are only a few that have done so.
