Best and Worst, Part 4

The Best
This is one of the best websites I found with information concerning the ITC revolution taking place in Iraq. It is the Iraqi news page for the LA Times. It carries many articles about Iraq, several of which have information on ITC.

• Is the content credible? Yes. The LA Times is a credible news source.
• Is the content current? Yes. The articles are updated daily.
• Is the content useful? Yes. A wide range of topics are covered, but only some are technology articles.
• Is the content interesting? Yes. They read and look like any article would from an online news source.

The Worst
This is one of the worst websites I found with information concerning the ITC revolution taking place in Iraq. It is a blog claiming to be about technology and societal issues in Iraq, but mainly focuses on the two as separate things, and even then only touches on the subjects. Most of the posts about Iraq quickly turn to bashing the Bush Administration and only offer opinions without relevant links that support the information.

• Is the content credible? No, just a blogger’s opinion with no supporting links.
• Is the content current? Yes, he posts pretty regularly
• Is the content useful? No. The majority of the articles have nothing to do with the technology angle and focus more on the blogger’s opinion of the Bush Administration.
• Is the content interesting? Not really.
