assessing 3 sources

http://consumerist.com/5150175/facebooks-new-terms-of-service-we-can-do-anything-we-want-with-your-content-forever

This source used alot of quotes by the facebook terms of agreement itself to illustrate the authors opinion on the new terms of agreement. The author didn't so much critique it than just highlight certain aspects of it to make the reader think. This is a good source because most of it is taken from the actual terms of agreement.

This source gave a one-sided view of the new terms of agreement for facebook. The author talked about how the "CC" is working for peoples best interest to make sure they understand what is going on, like with the new facebook. It was boring. It didn't have that much detail on what the "CC" was so i wouldn't use it as a source.

This website pokes fun at social events and news, it's purpose is for entertainment only so it wouldn't be a great source to use unless you wanted to prove a sarcastic point. I found it to be pretty funny.

  1. Nick, only the second assessment is really an assessment. Otherwise, this is a personal reading response. Sorry, no points.

  2. While the first and last assessments aren't really assessments as stated above, I really liked your second assessment because you went so much into depth about "CC", so it shows you actually read through and tried to understand it.
