Best and Worst, Part 3

The Best
This is one of the best websites I found with information concerning the ITC revolution taking place in Afghanistan. It is the homepage for the Afghanistan Times, which is written in English and published by the World News Network.
  • Is the content credible? Yes. The World News Network is a credible news source, reaching 12 million visitors daily.
  • Is the content current? Yes. The articles are updated daily.
  • Is the content useful? Yes. A wide range of topics specific to Afghanistan are covered including pages dedicated to stories about technology.
  • Is the content interesting? Yes. Although the individual article sites determine how they are displayed, most of them are up to the standards a user would expect when viewing an article online.
The Worst
This is one of the worst websites I found with information concerning the ITC revolution taking place in Afghanistan. It is an RSS feed for articles written about the topic of Afghanistan and technology, so I thought it would be a valuable site. The reality is that most of the articles have nothing to do with the topic.

  • Is the content credible? Yes, multiple news sources are
  • Is the content current? Yes, articles are updated daily.
  • Is the content useful? No. The majority of the articles have nothing to do with the technology angle and focus more on top news stories from the region.
  • Is the content interesting? Somewhat, but does not fulfill my purposes of visiting it.
