October 18 After Class

Today I thought it was interesting, and related to my post somewhat, when we talked about the concept of it used to be 'Filter then Publish' and now it is 'Publish then Filter.'  This relates to what I was saying about us being mistrusting in our approach to extrinsic proofs and how further information is just a few clicks away.  This relates to the idea of publishing then filtering because once something is online it is published in its own medium it is up to the reader to filter through and find out what information is worthwhile either, like I just said, by determining the credibility of the author, or like I mentioned in my previous post by doing further research and watching for discrepancies.

This reading's response to a classmate will look at Lexiengl360's blog post.  She did a really good job summarizing but did not include much of her own opinion so there was not really anything to respond to other than saying she did a really good job summarizing.  Also, since she wrote it in one big block of text it was a little difficult to read.
