"Stomp" is an example of "Citizen Journalism". It complies different articles and anyone is free to post anything. The advantage is that other readers can get more happening information about Singapore. Since anyone is free to post anything, the accuracy and reliability of the source is lowered. We may not know if the article is real or not, or even people may just post irrelevant stuffs.

The citerias I used to evaluate Stomp.com :

Purpose
Stomp.com is an entertainment website. It contains articles about local celebrities and the lastest happening things in Singapore.


Currency
The articles are up-to-date. For exmaple, the "lastest" news of Jack Neo's scandal is available on Stomp.


Accuarcy
The articles in Stomp.com maybe not be reliable because registered users can post anything. Hence, there are many sources that are unncessary. For example, there are articles about a cat sleeping under a car and the author find the cat silly. In the end, he got "scolded" by the people and received many negative comments.

Accessibility
There are lots of images avaiable on every article. There are no restrictions to anyone,everyone can access this page. Registration is unnecessary. However if you want to post a comment or contribute an article, registration is required.

Presentation & Arrangement
The home page is nicely designed and it looks attractive. Bright colors are being used and thus enhances the whole website's design. RSS feed is provided to allow users to get immediate updates. Stomp.com has also a 'FaceBook' page, 'Twitter' as well as a 'YouTube' channel.


From this activity, I had learned how evaluate websites. I always go to a website and never know what type of website it is or whether the information are reliable or not.
