Week 8 - Website Criticism 1

3) In your blog criticise each website (without giving details that would send a reader directly there) in terms of up-to-dateness, usability and practicing what it preaches.

Considering that i didnt know what 'digital immigration' was before i looked on the website and now i have a slight knowledge, gives an indication that the site was useful. However because there's two definitions that are both different, how could i possibly determine which one is the right definition in this context

First definition: Somebody who has popped up on an Internet site because of clicking on a link (sometimes accidentally). They don't have the slightest idea where they are at, but read the site information out of curiosity, and occasionally buy items if they are listed for sale.

Second definition: Someone who grew up before the digital age and is fairly new to the internet. Basically anyone over the age of 28

This however isn't the websites fault, its my knowledge of what 'digital immigration' is. However because the website is very basic. There's no theorists to back up the statements which brings up whether a user can even trust the sites information anyways. There is a rate system which allows visitors to the site to click a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' icon, but as a new visitor, its hard to know what the rating system is, if someone was to click a thumbs down is that because the statement isn't true or is it because they just dont like how its worded.

Overall a very basic website which needs to be backed up by other sites with more information.
