Review for your Twitter piece:
Hey guys, so I am not a twitter user. It was not readily apparent to me that it is
bottom-to-top. I hear you’re going to add a “how-to,” which is groovy . My advice
is to add this in the text box up top, so that old dinosaurs like me who aren’t hip to
the new thing like Twitter. Also, the word learning is misspelled up top .
As far as content, DAMN! This is SHORT! I can appreciate brevity, particularly on a topic
like Twitter and burst texting, but this is about a page, if I am navigating it right. I
fear I am navigating it wrong, and that there is more, but I’d love to see it .
I like the visuals, which are quite gnarly and professional looking. Okay, I think I
found the navigation buttons- I was stuck on Kate’s piece
. So, it is perfect length. I
would embed the videos and links, so that the user is not inconvenienced by having to
open external stuff.
Some of these sources are a little bootleg. Youtube videos and Washington Post articles
are unusable for traditional scholarship (at least in the history department). I
understand that they are good for getting the point across, so I would not excise them,
but I would make sure to include a substantial traditional scholarship, preferably from
peer reviewed journals. Have no fear, it’s out there .
Aside from that, I don’t have too much. This piece doesn’t work for me only on the basis
that I have very little interest in Twitter and allied technology. I am sure that it is
fertile terrain for (academic) research, so you’ll have no problem finding resources. As
is, your project will work toward its aims. I have no substantial revisions in mind, I
would accept with small revisions already mentioned.
All in all, I like it.
