Wardle part 4

4. Finding experts

Next Steps:

1. Make sure that when you searching google, you look at the options in the left hand

column. Click on ‘blogs’ and ‘discussions’ to see what people are saying in these spaces.

Remember to search with words like ‘I’ and ‘me’ to find 1st hand accounts.

2. Try sites like pipl.com to search for people through their usernames. Try 123people.com

for email addresses and other information.

5. Be aware of the blurring of personal/professional lives
