Describe & give definitions 3 different terms that forte uses in the article:
Co-production
Creation of a Field
Broker OverloadBasically the article was one long ‘I am so great and I got to vacation in Trinidad’ speech. Look how amazing I am, my website is #1 according to this rankings system, and I with other researchers basically saved this poor island from not having good websites for themselves. woo woo, hooray for me, I am amazing. The first article however, where the guy goes and lives with people and researches their internet use was really good, well written, wasn’t dry, and actually had a point. So woo woo, hooray for him.
In the first few pages he refers to a webmaster as a broker, and when there is to much for him or her to do, all these people telling him/her to do this and that and include this or that and all the other webmaster duties, forte refers to that as broker overload.
All the websites that forte created out of the massive kindness of his heart and his philanthropic nature unmatched by anything or anyone else in the world (did I mention he loves himself?) while he was vacationing in one of the nicest places in the world, were co-produced with the people or groups he was working with. Setting up native inhabitants information pages, and his main big CAC (pronounced Cack, I wonder if that has anything to do with himself…) page that is #1 (did I mention that it is #1, because it IS #1 and ohh yeah, in the conclusion Ill make sure i tell people its #1 one more time for good measure) is contributed to by all the other researchers that have painstakingly wrote papers on this beautiful part of the world, most of them of course having to vacati—i mean — work there, and acts as a hub for everyone to come together and form almost a database or library of these related articles. It also branches, or hyper links, off into pages that ya know, are only ranked like #5, so he wont talk about those too much other then that they are kinda awesome because even what he just ‘kinda’ does has a certain level of awesome surrounding it.
When someone as absolutely amazing as forte comes along and wants to do something, he cant just go ahead and do something that someone else has already done, so he needs to create a field all for himself so he can be the lead writer about all the amazing things that he does and he can go down in a very very small portion of history while he relaxes on the beaches of Trinidad. The Japanese also create fields for their rice by Terra forming because there are so many mountains and hills. So maybe he isnt all that great because millions of Japanese have been doing that for thousands of years.
His CAC website is #1. And i don’t like him.
He had some good points about different layerings of hyperlinks, and study on how hyperlinks can be embedded or attached more ‘technologically’ to pictures, sometimes full URLs are placed in websites but arn’t hyperlinked… And one of the essays (maybe this one) tracked down through the use of 6 search engines every hyper link pertaining to a certain site and then studied those sites in context.
