21. Questions What was the catalyst for the growth of this awareness and response? What factors contributed to the development of such a global awareness? How quickly did it develop? How long will the awareness and reaction to this disaster be sustained? Is the response waning? Why was awareness and response to this particular disaster so great? Other disasters throughout the world have been as tragic, if not more so, yet they have not had the level of impact and response. How great an impact did this disaster have on the world? What can be learned from examination of this development? What tool can be used to measure the development? The Asian Tsunami of December 26, 2004, is a major disaster that captured global attention in a way never seen before in the world. Search Engine Research

22. Measuring the rate of growth and decay of media coverage is a difficult challenge at best, impossible at worst. However, one medium could lend itself to just such an analysis – the Internet. One indicator of the rate of growth and decay of media coverage is the number of web pages generated or updated daily in response to a particular event or disaster.the number of web pages generated or updated daily

23. Search Engine Research Question Can search engines be used as measurement tools for doing research?
