Hypertext Essay Sources

One of the sources of my hypertext essay was "whatis.com". The reason why I used this website was to gather information on cyberspace. As far as authoritativeness goes, they do specify who it is that wrote the specific piece of information that is posted on the website. For the record also, let me state that this is a website that professionals like IT guys use so it would have to be very reputable by the 'IT' community to be used by them. As far as currency goes, the exact piece of information that I used was written very recently. January 25th, 2008 to be exact. The objectivity seems to be up to standard, to some extent at least since we know all sources of information ever written in the world are somewhat biased. And finally, accuracy. The information is accurate, so much so that the website can be used almost as a dictionary of sorts.

Another source I used was "CNN.com". The authoritativeness is very clear as it does always show who has stated what in it's articles and news stories. The currency is very up to par, in the sense that the website is updated hourly. Accuracy is good, as it is under alot of pressure since it is very much under a microscope, in terms of it's prescence in the rest of the world. And finally objectivity. It's objectivity is somewhat biased but again, since it is under a microscope so to speak, it can only be so biased before it would start to segregate visitors to the site.

The third source I used was "changingminds.org". It's authority is less prominent but nevertheless it does have a section of the website devoted to contacting whoever it is that seems to be in charge. Currency is unknown. Accuracy seems to be okay, so far. And thirdly objectivity is unknown, as since we don't know who wrote the information, we don't know their motives or agenda for saying what they are saying as well.
