So i checked out the tutorial recommended at Net.Tutor
The source i have chosen to use is Wedding Central Australia
Title: Wedding Central Australia
Publication: Wedding Central Australia Pty Ltd
Date Accessed: 31 January 2009
Date Publishing - Ongoing - 2009
Author: No details provided
The main purpose of this site is to provide people of Australia one of the biggest wedding directories online. It's directories provide information & links to anything you need to create your special day. It stems from function venues, decorators, entertainment, videographers etc which is Australia wide. This site also provides online forums, photo galleries, announcements etc. I believe based on the Net.tutor and from my research on this site, it is very reliable & has the credibility for anyone to trust and use this information provided. The site has authority as Wedding Central Australia is a very well known wedding company that controls many aspects of the industry including bridal expos, wedding magazines and has a huge presence online. I'd imagine the authors would be employees of the company who put the website together and get all the information approved by managers before submitting the information online.
Content - Each directory record has a website link and also a profile which provides more information about about the business & also allows for reviews & testimonials. With a site like a directory based site you must always go directly to the business you found to find out more, it only is an introduction to each business.
The information is current and added to the site on an ongoing basis & changes when a business changes it's status. The site also does provide recognition to other websites & vice versa with other prestige wedding businesses.
When choosing whether which body of information when to refer back to this site would probably be going to the original site. Reason being is because my view could come across as bias as i show my appreciation for the site and the favourtism for the site over others. Others may not have a good experience when searching this site, they may not like the design, user friendliness of it or other reasons. Also my annotation could become old and the site may continue to update & improve OR go bad after my annotate is published, therefore making my view unreliable.
In terms of external users to help judge whether this site is useful or not would be to first look at who publishes the information, for eg Wedding Central Australia. My annotate would help them review the site as it provides good feedback as to what the main purpose is, why it is credible & reliable and a direct link to the site. An about us, reviews & open forums judge if it is useful or of interest to them.
