 * Focus on **Media Convergence** - review the following web sites for layout and design
 * Technology Convergence: []
 * Technology News: []
 * Go ahead and read as much as you would like... they are full of information, however, for this task I would like you to take a good look at the web site itself. How they are designed and what options are available to readers. How current the information is and how the site is managed. What should a reader look for and be concerned about?

The websites here are very interesting. The website of [] is very organized and has up to dat information on the latest news around. Not just one certain area or country but a lot of others too.This website also has many other things in it, like links to other information. It tells you the day and time you came to this page. It also has a blog attached to one of the top links. The other website, [] is all organized into different categories and it shows other links within that page for key words. You can turn this page into another language, and can get to other key words by just clicking. This page isn’t up to date all the time, because the information rarely changes. A reader should look for the date it was posted, the updates if there is any, and so much more. Like what kind of page is it. Is it a wiki or a blog, how currant it is, what it’s about, and the details in the design.

** __Pros blogs __ ** Blogs have one editor, Allows only comments to post They can have more than one post on a page Contain news, images, videos, or personal stories.   ** __Pros Wiki __ ** Collect and organize information into a collection of Web pages Organizations and educators use wikis to collaborate shared information ** __Cons Blogs __ **   ** __Cons Wiki __ ** Wikis can be accessed by other people to edit them

** Blog vs. Wiki Comparison ** ** When one would be more useful than the other? **  Wikipedia: - Can view history of what changes other users made - It shows the time and date of the changes are being made - In “view history”, it lets users to vote if the change is different from current version, different from preceding version or minor editing, etc. - Need to be a member and login in order to edit information in each page - Free encyclopedia - The webpage warns it’s users that the article may contain too much jargon and may need simplification or further explanation. - The website also tells users that the article may have multiple issues. - The issues may be discussed on the talk page. Tech News World: - When users are looking for latest news - When users want more update technology information - There are more technology information from computing, internet, IT management, mobile tech, security and technology. - Shortcuts on the sidebar (The side bar changes as you refresh your page) where you can for example, get “business and technology news alerts” or “widi hotspot locator”, etc. - Users can go to “sponsored Links” on the sidebar (bottom) and look for more into dept information - It includes other similar pages to the topic the user is reading
