Website Evaluation

I chose the Dog Island Free Forever Website. (http://www.thedogisland.com/)
Who is the source of the information?
- The website gives a list of people who work at the island, but there is not specifically a person listed as the author of the site itself. 


What are you getting?
- It tries to make it look like the owners are very large animal lovers and that they will take good care of the animals. Although, nowhere on the page did I see a location given. 


When was the site created?
- The site looks to have been created in 2003, this is when it was copyrighted.




Where
-The website is just a .com website which means anyone could have created it and it could or could not be reliable.






* I don't think that this site is very valid, it has its reasons that I might believe some of it because of the press that they have been given, and the articles written on it but in the HOW section of the questions it says when in doubt, doubt and I really am not sure about it so I am doubting.

  1. What a great way to display your responses to the 5 W’s. You made your responses very visual and eye catching. Also, you made some very good observations about this website that you selected. People need to question the validity of what they are reading on the net rather than accept whatever they read as fact. Good job, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog.

  2. This website was so funny! The whole time I was reading it I was convinced that this place was real and that dogs would love it. But while I was reading it I was really thinking that it was totally fake. Who would want to send their dog to this place to never return? Then I read the disclaimer which states that it was all a joke.
