Information + Trapping

This I think I kind of understand but I am not really sure. What I get is that there are better ways to find what you are looking for on the internet then just going to the search engine and typing in what you are wanting to find. Every where I looked it talked about adding quotations and “+” signs. I came across this interview with Tara Calishain, who is an expert on information trapping and how to use it. Calishain also has a book that is all about information trapping. 

I also found this very informative layout on trapping information and the different ways or areas it is helpful in. (Cick Here)

With all the information out on the Internet sometimes it gets frustrated choosing the right words in your search to get the most useful one from the ones that seem to only take up space. If you use information trapping methods then it will help refine your searches and when you mix in rss feeds then you can also get updated on when new information is available or updated.
