Reflection 7

After much pondering, i decided to use currency to evaluate stomp.com. This is because stomp is about citizen journalism which is about the latest and current news seen by people and not reporters. Imagine seeing news on stomp that is not up to date and old, no one would bother to even visit stomp.com. Lots of people visit there to find out about the lastest news around singapore which reporters did not report on. Citizen journalism consist of a few criteria, authority which is how reliable is the news, accuracy which is how in depth did the stomper talk about the news, coverage which is the information and content provided by those stompers and lastly currency which means how new and up to date is the news.

Sharing my views via wiki may be a great way of sharing and discussing about information with other people from all over the world, everyone view stuff differently so you will get all kinds of perspectives. Therefore we could think and evaluate those we think its true or check about what others say to believe. Since wiki can be shared among everyone, informations will not be bits and pieces, it will be more like a whole. Debating among people that share information may be possible and good as it will help us get the real fact but it may also cause conflict among people and start scolding each other. I hope everyone that post on wiki will be nice even if some post fake infomation, others can try to correct it and not scold them.
