a. Which criteria did you use to evaluate Stomp.com? Why did you choose this criteria? What lessons have you learnt from this activity?
Purpose - To me, the purpose of this website is quite clear; to provide fast and random news to the local community. To me, I feel that teenagers out there don't really bother much about news like current affairs. We are more into those small news like gossips and rumors. This website is seen as a great platform for youths out there to spend their time reading and watching interesting news and on-goings.
Currency - The website is updated regularly and the discussion forums are up to date. Current news are present in the home pages while others require searching.
Accessibility - This website is easily accessible to everyone. Recent news about the 'girl' being groped by a few men reached out to others like the blink of an eye. It became quite the talk of the town. More news about this issue began to surface and details were shown. But, to post comments, one has to register for an account. This is good as not any random person can post crude comments. Also, a person maybe blocked for rude comments which is good as the younger generations should not be exposed to this absurdity.
I have learnt that news in general spread very fast as there are many channels for us to feed them in. Even gossip or rumors are concerned too. But sometimes, we can't believe what we have read, as it might not be the whole truth.
b. How do you feel about sharing your views through Wiki?
It's really easy for me because I just have to log in and just post information. All the information are listed in just 1 page and this is more convenient towards me. Also, it can help me understand easier.
