I read some of texts from last night and laughed until I cried. they're great. Good presentation--it covers all of the points. I'd recommend breaking up some of the text into chunks and adding some blank space to make for easier reads.
I'm enjoying that you have the "in popular websites" item on your intro slide, as it helped me to pinpoint your project topic. The first slide needs to be less text--I think that what you have on there is important, so don't simply get rid of it. Maybe split it into more slides or incorporate it onto other slides. The slide on authorship that is #4 and right before College Humor might be better serving to the presentation by being included later. I like the colors you've used, but more visuals would be good. Also, include them on the slide where you talk about that website. It might help jog someone's memory because they've been to the site, but they don't remember the name of it (bad example, I know). Overall, I think this is a great draft. Try not to make it too wordy, or else it won't appeal to the majority of presentation readers. I'm enjoying the topic, and I look forward to the final product! Good luck!
* I do think that this topic is clear in depicting how authorship is distributed in the latest websites, texts from last night and fml.com. Her assertions regarding the pattern of numbers coming together with author names and area codes are a good start to this topic. There was a lot of summarizing but it provided necessary background information for how these websites operate. I might look more into who created these websites and go from there.
* I think that this presentation was a good start to a guide for this topic of authorship online. The basis of the topic was described rather well but research should stem from more than just the basic facts. I think that the order that the information was put in works well so far.
*The 3 images that were added to the presentation were simply illustrations of each website's logo. The images could become more central with images of the data bases of #'s of people who post onto these websites. Even look at the target of these sites, adding in pie charts or graphs to support your information.
*No, the presentation does not delve too much into different arguments rather just explains what the topic is and why authorship has anything to do with that topic. I would incorporate our class discussion regarding social software into this presentation. Websites like these are the next generation of social software on the internet.
It is obvious that you have thought a lot about this and have a clear direction. In terms of presentation I think you'd do better with more slides and spread the text and logos out so that the logos are presented with the individual relating statements and that the text i not overwhelming. Your text is very thought-provoking, so don't just cut it. I am now wondering why these sites are popular at all when anyone can basically post the same thing on their blog or myspace - is it the anonmity factor that gives these sites value to the users? Good ideas, the presentation factor needs a bit more work.
I think the only thing that needs work is the look of the presentation - mainly splitting up the text like Erin said. I'm not very good with visual design so I don't have any helpful suggestions as far as that goes. As far as content, the presentation has a lot of substance and addresses the topic very thoroughly. Very good!
