This week I had to choose discussion on the trends of youth spending habits which is number 11. Initially, this is not the topic I wanted to choose but since someone have taken the other topics I quickly choose this topic. After all, it's not that bad because this topic about youth spending a lot is so common in Singapore. It is really a trend in Singapore for youth to spend quite a lum sum of money just for branded stuffs. Upon choosing the topics, we were asked to search our topic using the 4 given category. They are, organizational website, e-Magazine/journal, blog and discussion forum.

Each of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Let's take a look at the organizational websites. I think this website can be trusted as the informations given are mostly the facts. It is maintained by a particular organization and they would usually get the facts from other sources as well. The website also will include pictures and some other websites related to the particular topics. I think, organizational websites is the best in terms of finding the informations.

Let's move on for the e-Magazine/Journal websites. This website are based on the news and the contents are mostly quote from local or international newspapers and it can be generic. However, it is hard to understand the way they interpret it and only certain people such as the business man will surf this website more as to update themselves with news around the world especially the business's news.

Next is the blog website. Blog. Who doesn't know what is blog is. It's just an opinion of one party. It is not that fact like organizational website but sometimes, their opinions are based on what they read or get from the other sources. Their informations are sometimes inaccurate and cannot be trusted also.

The last category is the discussion forum. Most of the content in discussion forum are mostly opinions and suggestions. The people will contribute ideas and opinions of any topics that was posted on the forum. However, it is difficult to research of some topics as some opinions are simply untrue and biased.

This is it. 2 entries per day. Till we meet again next week of EIR. =) See you!
