23rd January 2009 [Friday]
Firstly, I'd like to continue from my previous post about summary of internet resources. I'd also like to apologize for a lack of pictures because I haven't got time to wait for my very slow computer to upload them all.
OK here goes.
Following last week, evaluating internet resources also involves checking the links of the website, since some websites might have changed its URL.
Also important, is the check for the status of the resource owner. Some information might have changed because the owner has left the company or an institution.
Some of you might not know, internet resources from an institution or an organisation might not be very relevant and reliable afterall. That is because it might be biased and might be trying to push an idea across to its viewers.
For example, it is very likely that a political website have an extent of biasness, otherwise, how are the citizens convinced to vote for that party?
Finally, to evaluate an internet resource, check whether there are hyped up languages in that resource. There may be exaggeration in the content of the resource, perhaps from a site advertising its products. Hence it is important to ensure that
there are no marketing languages in it.
