Credibility:
This source was is current, posted just last year in May.  The source also provides the author of the article with a bio and contact information.  The site also has some ads though, but most pertain to the topic.

Reflection:
I think this source is good for my blog because it describes benefit by benefit points in pretty simple terms to why this technology is and will be useful.  It is also a good length being neither too short nor to long for it's purpose.



2. Google Wallet
Home page: http://www.google.com/wallet/
Article page: http://www.google.com/wallet/what-is-google-wallet.html

Credibility: This information page comes directly from the maker of Google Wallet.  There isn't really any better place to find accurate information on this topic.

Reflection:
I think this source is great for my blog because it comes from the maker of Google Wallet.  They explain their product in a simple, easy-to-understand layout created for people who don't have any knowledge on the subject.

Intro to Nick's Tech Talk

Hi! To introduce you to my blog I'm going to answer a few questions:

What is my topic?

I will be discussing new technologies that have been implemented into our mobile world today, which consits of tablets and cellphones.  I will be focusing on the ways we can communicate and share things and what the pros and cons are of having these capabilities.

Why did I choose this topic?

I chose this topic because it's been a hobby, you could say, for me to explore, research, and stay on top of almost each new phone and tablet release and see what makes them better than previous ones.

What do I already know about this topic?

Well, since it's like a hobby to me, I know quite a bit of what there is to know about smartphones and tablets that have been released within the last couple years.  I could probably teach a class on them.

What do I hope to learn about this topic?

I hope to just keep doing what I have been.  Researching new smartphones and tablets and the new technologies they have.  Also, I hope by doing this I can find something new that I am unaware of now so that I can share it with you.

Who is the ideal audience to my blog?

Well, it can be from people who are tech geeks and tech savvy like me to people just trying to learn what smartphones and tablets can actually do for them.

I hope you will find this as interesting to you as it is to me! :D
