Phase 3

In my blog I will be discussing the pros, cons, and uses of have the technology, Near-Field Communication (NFC), in your smartphone.

Here are two websites showing uses for having NFC:

1. What Is NFC, How It Works And What Are Its Practical Applications
Home page: http://www.addictivetips.com/
Article page: http://www.addictivetips.com/hardware/what-is-nfc-how-it-works-what-are-its-practical-applications/

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.

  1. The first source does have some good length to it, and it provides some threads to pick up on. How will the world change when businesses have the capability to offer reviews as people scan the menus? Are there any case studies/ stats on how many advertisers are using NFC?

    I can understand pulling the Google Wallet info, but that source is one of the product reviews/advertisements that I want you to avoid overall for the product. Remember to focus not on the what (the product is), but the why (people find it appealing) and how (the product changes society) as you write your blog.

  2. Also, don't forget to give the names of your websites in plain English instead of giving just the root URL.
