Unit 2 Assignment 2



Currency: The site was most recently updated October 15, 2012. They have link on this website to another webpage www.justfactsdaily.com which is updated daily.

Relevance: The topics on this webpage consist of policy issues such as taxes, pollution, healthcare, global warming, national debt, social security, gun control, abortion, social spending, racial issues, and the US Constitution. They also have an area called exclusive news which includes ClimateGate Scientists Buried Study and Talking Down the Economy. These topics were interesting and there is a large variety to choose from, but the information was not relevant to anything I was interested in search.

Authority: The contact information for the site is Just Facts 641 Shunpike Rd #286 Chatham, NJ 07928. Each of the links seems to be updated by James D. Agresti, his name is in each of the citations for the links on the webpage.

Accuracy: This site is a little plain but I would not say that it does not look professional. It as though it has been put together by one person. For example, under the Taxes tab there are several bullet points they may assist with different types of taxes you may be looking for. Also, there are various statistics and information about tax and tax laws.

Purpose: This website was set up to give people facts like the web link states “just facts”. It doesn’t seem that the website creator is trying to push any opinions on its viewers. It’s pretty simple, if you’re looking for facts about a topic like Healthcare this site will give you facts and provide you with additional links to give your all the information you need.

                             

www.factcheck.org

Currency: This website seems to be updated weekly. The last update I could find was February 1, 2013. This website has archives dating back to December 2003 which I believe to be their date of inception.

Relevance: This site is about politics or as they put it “The Annenberg public policy center of the University of Pennsylvania”.  

Authority:
Mail: FactCheck.org Annenberg Public Policy Center 202 S. 36th St. Philadelphia, PA 19104-3806
E-Mail: Editor@FactCheck.org
Telephone: Annenberg Public Policy Center: (215) 898-9400 FactCheck.org News Desk: (215) 573-7070
To Report Technical Problems With This Site: Webmaster@FactCheck.org

Accuracy: This site looks very professional compared to justfacts.com

Purpose: “We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.

FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels”.

Unit 2: Assignment 1

I decided to complete a search on the Blood Type diet. This topic was interesting to me because my trainer has me on this diet and I thought he wasn't giving me enough food options lol. With this search I came up with some very helpful info.

I also found that there were several similarities between the search engines and the meta-search engines. One major similarity was that the 2 major search engines came up with the same information in almost the same order. The meta-search engines found the same websites that Google, Bing, and Yahoo discovered. The meta-search engines had several ads before you got to the actual search results which was different from the search engines. All those ads were very annoying and had absolutely nothing to do with my topic.

Welcome to my 2013 blog

Hello! I'm Danielle Fields, I am a senior and planning to graduate in May 2013. My major is Sociology. My short term goal is to complete the class with better computer skills than I already have.

1. Email
2. Facebook
3. Twitter
4. YouTube
5. Google
6. Instagram
7. Facetime

I use my email everyday to send and receive information. I enjoy Facebook to keep up with old classmates, family and friends. I use Twitter because it somehow allows me to feel connected to the celebrities that I choose to follow. I watch YouTube videos when I want to learn how to do something new. I use Google as a search engine to fine whatever I am looking to gain knowledge on or purchase. With Instagram I am able to share photos with friends as well a see others photos from around the world. Finally, Facetime is for video chatting.

The only Web communication tools that I use for school related purposes are email and Google.
