The article seems to follow the C.R.A.P. detection rules fairly well, except in a few ways. A full report follows.
Currency: No problem. Site has been updated recently, article is less than a year old, and it's current enough to be relevant.
Reliability: It's largely an opinion piece, but the information checks out. It's factual.
Authority: Though I've never heard of the author, he apparently was a professor. He also wrote the article for a newspaper that seems to be well enough known. His personal site is well designes, too. http://www.rheingold.com/
Also apparently he'll be reading this. Hi! Claire says sorry.
Purpose: It's partially opinion, and it's biased, but as an opinion piece, it's allowed to be. He doesn't seem to want to sell me anything.
Something has gone amiss with the formatting. It's blogger's fault, not mine.
ReplyDeleteI think your post was very simple, straight forward, and useful for potential readers, Devon! Even though the formatting was "amiss," I think it allows your post to fall under the easy-reading category. Your picture is very relevent, too!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
