CNN.com vs. iReport.com

Though iReport is a subsidy of CNN, there are many differences between the two sites. The first difference that i notices was that the stories on ireport are more opinionated where as the stories on CNN are more Unbiased.

The next thing I noticed is that CNN has more significant stories on the front page such as the economic crisis where as iReport has stories about the closing of a Conney Island roller coaster and opinions of the new Facebook.

I noticed that on CNN, it has articles about why tomorrows Presidential debate should go on as opposed to iReport which asks iReporters to share their opinion of what should happen.

On CNN it contains stories about how the government should spend the 700 Billion dollars to save Banks, lenders, mortgage firms etc. On iReport, the iReporters talk about how the governent should give the money directly to the people.

Truth vs. untruth

The assignment was to make a posting about an "untruth" spread through the use of Web 2.0 technologies and contrast it with the truth from a reliable source. Since tonight is the last baseballgame that will ever be played at the original Yankee Stadium, I chose to look at which baseball park was considered the best my fellow baseball fans. I found an untruth at CBS sports line message board which asked that same question of what is the best baseball stadium. Many of the posts stated almost all of the stadiums in the MLB from Petco park in Pittsburgh to Camden Yards in Baltimore to Wrigley Field in Chicago. These all are great ballparks im sure and maybe I am a little biased but according to the article on ESPN it states that Yankee Stadium is the best/most important ballpark of all time. It states that the legacy, visitors, atmosphere(to name a few) all add up to making it the best ballpark in history.
