EIR Practical 7

Hey Everyone!!!

It's me again and now I will be reflecting on my practical which included reading articles on Stomp and also posting my views on the EIR space. I personally think that Stomp sometimes becomes more of a gossip website than news as some of the information there is simply because someone got annoyed at something and vents their anger by posting it on stomp so reliability of an article is always questioned. As the saying goes "There are two sides to a coin." and I believe that people are biased, at least most of us are and so reliability is a big part of my criteria when I evaluate Stomp which as a citizen journalism website should at least give information as accurate as possible even though it is mostly posted by random strangers.

I like sharing information on wiki but one big problem is the saving of the information which takes so long and sometimes does not work at all, this makes it hard for us when we want to submit our research because it sometimes work and sometimes does not. Maybe we should have another page or website to share the information so that if we cannot get it up in the EIR wiki, it will at least be shared somewhere else.

Thats about all I have to say, take care everyone...
