- information tainted by ignorance
- inept communication
- 20 more annotations...
- - deliberate deception
  - "You have to do some investigation before you accept anything you find online,"
  - "Who is the author?"
  - easywhois.com
  - If the author provides a way to ask questions, communicate, or add comments,
  - Who are these other people whose opinions you are trusting? Is the site a .gov
    or .edu?
  - Take the website's design into account - professional design should not be seen
    as a certain indicator of accurate content,
  - Does the author provide sources for factual claims, and what happens when you
    search on the names of the authors of those sources? Have others linked to this
    page, and if so, who are they (use the search term "link: http://..." and Google
    shows you every link to a specified page).
  - See if the source has been bookmarked on a social bookmarking service like Delicious or Diigo;
  - bias
  - A good question to ask yourself, particularly when a website asks you to
    download something to your own computer, is "might somebody be trying to put one
    over on me?"
  - authority
  - I would add credibility points if a source is a verified professor at a known
    institution of higher learning,
  - Triangulate.
  - try to find three different ways to test a source's credibility.
  - Know how to use online filters
  - Just as thinking like a detective is a strategy for trying to determine the
    credibility of webinfo, thinking like an intelligence analyst is a strategy for
    trying to gauge the credibility of online reports about breaking news events.
  - The biases of trusted sources like newspapers and television need to be examined
    critically
  - understanding the vocabulary of visual deception
  - How much work is it to check three links before believing or passing along
    health information you find online?
