search. The search button on each page gives to access to just about
everything on the site. 
So much so,
that as the site grows you will have to refine your searches to narrow
down the results. To get best value out of search it is often very
effective to use words that are unique. For example, if the word
basicvid is used in a title or tag it is immediately
discoverable wherever it used in me.edu.au. It is a great promotion tool.
On the disvovery side of search, the search for digital storytelling shown here shows all the people who have mentioned the term in their profile, whiteboard entries as well as a community and blog entries. So it is only a short step to take to start learning and contacting people interested in this issue.
