a. What labels you did not like and why, and suggest improvements.

Actually I think all of them are good. Maybe the only flaw is user cannot really customize the Tool Bar.

b. Whether there were any inconsistencies in the labelling system between the pages (in terms of style, presentation, syntax, granularity, comprehensiveness and audience).

Cannot really find one.

c. Examine at least two other similar or competing web sites. How similar are the labelling systems? Is any one site clearly the winner(and if so, why)?

Well, I have to say, bing's Homepage looks much attractive. Especially the pop up on the bottom of the page. But overall, the labelling system is similar to Google.

If I remembered correctly, Yahoo's searching page has the old Google Homepage style. Put everything together at the mid of the webpage. About the labelling system, doesn't look much different.

To sum up, those three search engine basically have the similar system. So there really isn't a clearly winner.

d. Look at how other students have answered this question and comment on their blogs.
