The first website I used for the hypertext essay was ClickZ.com (http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3569616). The response I wrote was about relationships formed over technologies. This website helped me because it had some good qualities. The author of the article was stated so it is qualified for authority. As far as accuracy goes it is a blog so it might be the authors opinions, but most of it can be cross referenced. It is kind of dated information. The article was written in December of 2005, but they are talking about the future so it is still kind of relevant just not updated. The article is relevant to my topic though because it talks about how advertising on the interenet will grow in the next few years. The currency kind of goes hand and hand with how relevant it is.
The second website I used was Ezine.com (http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-Technology-Isolating-Us-From-Friends-and-Family?&id=146444). The response I wrote for this one was about how the interent is isolating us from society. This websites accuracy was pretty relieable because it can be cross referenced. The relevance was good. It helped me out with my response because it is about technology isolating us from people. I don't really know if it is current or not because there is no dates on the website. The author is listed on the article's page.
The third website was wilsonbanwell.com (http://www.wilsonbanwell.com/articles/general_interest/about_internet_relationships.htm) My response was about people wanting to form long lasting relationships. I don't know if this is a really reliable website. The author is not listed, but you can contact the writers. The website is not current! The last time the website was updated in October of 2004. I think the information in it is relevant to my topic, but it may not be reliable. It seems to be pretty accurate; I would trust and use the information.
Those are the three sources I used for my hypertext essay. Each of them had their good qualities, but they also were missing some qualities that make a good website. The currency, objectivity, accuracy, and authority are important qualities for websites. They all help back up any kind of research stated in a paper for class.
