I chose to compare Bloomberg.com to fool.com, both financial websites, with totally different reputations. To start you figure Bloomberg.com is going to be accurate and reputable by just the name, Bloomberg; named after Mike Bloomberg, the current mayor on New York City. Once you proceed to the site, visually, you can see it is well structured, and under the majority of the articles they have the authors name and even where he can be reached and located at.
Compared to fool.com, where as soon as i loaded the page, you are directed to a website based pop-up, from a third party. I then proceeded to look at it from a visual outlook, and the website looked choppy and non-structured, and is definitely a little less budgeted than bloomberg.com. As you click on the articles on fool.com most were properly written, but didn't have any contact information or any general information on the writer at all. What they did have was a comment section under the article where you can rant and rave about your own opinions in the article. Even though both websites are financial websites, the information portrayed could be very different, do to the reputable writers depicted on one compared to bloggers on the others.
