READWRITEWEB


ReadWriteWeb





This blog is similar to popular sites CNET.com and Gizmodo.com. Like those sites it has an array of information on the tech world. Information is given from a point of view of how current technology effects people's daily lives. One example of this is an article about how positive information online rather than negative has a huge affect on the presidential candidates. Brian Proffitt talked about how despite candidates belief that their negative messages might help them it actually causes harm when people are searching online for information on who to vote for. A reason for this is because people are simply looking for the right choice not necessarily the most controversial. (Brian Proffitt, 2012 p.10)

The site includes articles and videos on the business behind the tech industry. It is divided into sections ranging from Web, Biz, Mobile, and the slowly becoming popular Cloud. One article may talk about how workers are trying to improve a video source so that it can be used more efficiently and universally. Another may talk about why a major tech company is seeing declines in the stock market. It sparsely includes easy to follow tips on how to use new gadgets and services created for web use.  The information seems to be geared more so to professional people. The site does throw in a few articles that could be interesting to the average tech user like information about popular ios and android apps. I'd recommend this website for any professional or soon to be professional in the tech world because most of the information can be useless to anyone who isn't apart of that industry. Like an average user might not care that several browser makers are trying to create one browser that could be universal.
