Internet Detective
Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie has true information rather than fake facts like Google Gulp has. The author of the website is Lyle Zapato, while Google Gulp does not have a legit oristed author. The aims of the site are for people to start wearing aluminum foil hats to keep out mind reading signals, they say its for everyone. Many people have sent back 'testimonies' to the site of them wearing the product and telling their story. The site is organized well and things are easy to find, the site also provides a FAQ sections and answers from the author. He also provides history of the usage of the product.
The best site to use for your report because it's the official government website for the city. Also, it provides a city map, plenty of information and the best way to plan your trip to the city. The other site (.us one) was hijacked by a person and no attempt has been made to get it back. Also, that site claims to have Dracula's Castle in the town, when Dracula was to have lived in Europe as well as claims to never get below 70 degrees. It also says that it has ocean front land and a 'Lost Water City'. It's in Minnesota, not a coastal state. Wikipedia is the work of a lot of other people and their opinions, so the information might no be able to be proven, even with sources cited.

Avatars
1. An Avatar is a picture used to represent you, it can be yourself or something that is fake but represents you, something you do, or something you like.
2. Someone could have an avatar in their personal life that they use on Facebook, or any other social networking website. They might have one so they can be identified with their face or may have something that isn't their face because they don't want their picture on the internet. Someone could have one in their educational career for school and in business, they could have one on the business' network because they need for people to know their account.
Have you used an avatar for anything prior to this class? If so, what?
Of the three sites, which did you like the best? Please explain why and give three reasons to support your response.
3. I have used an avatar before, on Zwinky. I like Zwinky because the clothes are easy to assemble, you can edit them and you don't just go on the website to make an avatar. You chat with other people there too.

Feed Readers
The two readers have a different set up, I fell like Bloglines is more oragnized than Google Reader. Instead of just having a continous scrolling box without titles like Google Reader, Bloglines organized 'all of its subscriptions' to the day it was assigned; 'today', 'yesterday', etc. However, I'm more comfortable with Google Reader because I know how to work its features. On Bloglines, you join presubscribed to a website and I don't even know what the blog is. I don't know how to work the website's gadgets, so I don't know how to remove the subscription. Also, Google Reader shows the full article while Bloglines displays a summary of the piece. On Google Reader, you can read the whole story without ever leaving the site.
