We are doing an activity where we have to evaluate a website and see if it is a credible website. I chose to evaluate the website on "Dog Island".
Name of page: Dog Island Free Forever
Address/URL: http://thedogisland.com/
Date Accessed: April 1, 2011
How did you find the page: My teacher had a list of websites for us to choose.
What is the domain: .com
Do you feel the domain type helps add or lessen the page's crediblity? I feel the .com domain lessens the credibility because since it is a .com domain that means anyone could have created this website.
There appears to be no author on the main page of the website, but I did however find a name Soong Lee, who is the director of Import.
There is a contact Dog Island page on the website, with some pretty crazy email addresses.
I don't know how I feel about the author being qualified to present the information on the website. From reading the bios of the different people assoicated with the website, I don't think they have very much experience or training with dogs.
From the information that has been presented and the fact that the same information changes throughout the website, I don't think this is a very credible website.
