Website Evaluation
The two websites that I use on a daily basis are Blogger.com and AOL. Blogger.com is a good website to find biased information. It is useful to post opinions, which makes it an invalid informational site. For example, on my blog, there is no place to view or contact the author. Blogs can be written by anyone. On the other hand, AOL is a valid informational site. AOL provides articles that are based on fact and tells both sides of the story. The articles are usually written by professional writers who are experts on the subject. They are also published on local world news channels. In conclusion, AOL is a useful site for updated news and Blogger.com is a useful place to locate opinions.

You make an interesting point how blogs are probably more useful for researching opposing sides of an argument, while sites like aol are better for gathering information and facts on an argument. Both would be very valuable in writing a research paper.
