Crusades Project - Part 3

Almost done! Time to put the bibliography together.

Today, I finished constructing all of my remaining tweets to demonstrate my understanding of the Muslim viewpoint on the Second Crusade and Third Crusade. As I did this, I located several more sources, which I used for these two crusades. These sources are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Crusade

http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/the-second-crusade.htm

http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/wars_crusade3rd.html
http://the-orb.net/textbooks/muhlberger/lionheart.html

Today I made use of the search engine, sweetsearch.com. I really liked it, and preferred it over google.com and bing.com, which I used yesterday. The sources that it provided me with were much more helpful than those provided by google or bing. In this way, sweetsearch proved most helpful.

I only had one real problem with finding information - as I only needed specific information (how the Muslims were affected, etc.), I had to spend a good amount of time weeding out unnecessary information provided by different web sites that I visited. It was most difficult finding specifically what I needed rather than random stuff that was relevant to the topic, but not relevant for my exact purposes.

The only problem that I encountered with my choice of using Twitter for my project was that it was a bit more involved than I had anticipated...I had to create three different email addresses in order to create three separate accounts, and it was a bit inconvenient having to sign out of one account and into another constantly.

My project worked out exactly as I had envisioned, and I am very happy with it. This is because I was able to convey opinions of several different people, but formulate a common base for all of them so that it was organized, flowed well, and made sense over all.

Woo!
