Article Selection
"Reblogging" and "Blog" will be the two articles that I'll be considering for this assignment.

Option 1 Reblogging

 * Reblogging
 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article’s content relevant to the topic?
 * - The article’s content is relevant to the topic of “reblogging”. The article begins with defining what “reblogging” means, mentions the developer behind the concept, and provides examples of where the act of “reblogging” takes place.
 * - It lacks the mention of Instagram and the “sharing” action.
 * - More details on the effects and purpose of “reblogging” and “sharing” is for, instead of seemingly random information - A section about “Instagram’s” version of “reblogging” as “sharing” may add to the understanding and clarity of the article
 * - Reblogging is also a form of self-expression (could be relevant add)
 * - Companies are interested in knowing your statistics for marketing and promotion purposes (could be relevant add)
 * - The source cited as an idea to incorporate personality types or bring attention to more of a human accountability by associating meaning/purpose of reblogging... "traits that predict blogging" in understanding who blogs because reblogging is an action that someone does (is this relevant?)
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * - For the most part, the article is written neutrally. However, some sentences can be adjusted to provide more clarity. As well as the mention of other social networking sites and other unnecessary information that distract from the meaning of “reblogging”.
 * - A lack of simplistic wording for this article to be universally understood. In some sense, the article is more vague than clear.
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * - Some statements about the origin of reblogging lack sources. For example, “…with the rise of micro-blogging in the latter 2000s, however, user moderation on front pages was de-emphasized as a feature in favor of “reblogs” on user profiles, which were usually taken by bloggers and news services as automatic endorsement of an original/linked posts currency, if not popular favor.”  Thus, this statement could be provided with a citation to support its credibility.
 * - It also claims that “twitter” installed it’s retweet button in august 2009, which is incorrect and mentions a news story claiming it’s the reason that “retweets” were installed on twitter.
 * - “Tweetmeme” lacks a citation and isn’t a word that is known to be used…
 * - “Tweetmeme” lacks a citation and isn’t a word that is known to be used…

Option 2 Blog

 * Blog
 * Article Evaluation
 * Is the article’s content relevant to the topic?
 * - The first sentence includes a comparison example in brackets that may be of better use after defining what a blog is. Some readers might not know the meaning of “blog” or “truncation” and “weblog” that may cause more confusion than clarity.
 * - The article’s content is relevant. There are areas for improvements. For example, “So, one could be maintaining a blog on Facebook or blogging on Instagram” could be more descriptive with new information such as how you can share the same post on Instagram and Facebook at the same time from one of the apps if all your accounts are linked. The option to add an explanation on how to link accounts or link to Instagram instructions. As well as adding a tag/link for the word “blogging”
 * - The source cited as an idea to add "blog credibility" in the article as an informative way for companies and the general population can understand what defines a credible blog
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * - For the most part this article is informative and neutral. However, this sentence “Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject or topic, ranging from politics to sports” fails to include other examples that may be more inclusive to all readers. Recommending changing this to “…ranging from philosophy, religion, politics, arts, science, sports…” Does each claim have a citation?
 * - The word “weblog” is missing a citation/definition
 * - Citation needed in the introduction paragraph for… “Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.”
 * - The mention of the term blog has no source
 * - The mention of the term blog has no source

Option 4 Instapoetry

 * Article title
 * Is the article’s content relevant to the topic?
 * - The content is relevant to the topic and may be useful to add an image example of “instapoetry” next to the table of contents and under the introduction
 * Is it written neutrally?
 * - For the most part this article is neutral. However, this sentence “While Instapoets may be looked down upon by academia, these writers have opened a door to poetry in a way that traditional education has failed to do” is a cited source but may be less neutral than the rest of the article.
 * Does each claim have a citation?
 * - The word “sub-genre” could add a link/definition
