Hi! This was such a great post! I agree that the book was a great read! I was so excited to finish it so I could run over to my Goodreads account and say that I read it. Also, I love your example of SIFTing information about someone who hiked the AT. I think that is a great way to put it, and it made me think that you can SIFT information on someone’s personal experience. Sometimes I forget people lie about personal stuff on the internet (I assume the best in people), and that can sometimes get me in trouble. Your post opened my eyes a little bit in that regard lol.

Also, as someone who was not proud of their VQ, I feel you. I felt I had so many revisions, and such little time. I tried making it look as good as I could, but HTML and CSS are not my friends…

Anyways, great post!

Hi!
I really enjoyed reading your post. You made a great point about the difference between the last couple chapters of Verified and the rest of the book. I thought it was really smart of the authors to include a section about emotion, because people aren’t pure logic machines. Emotions effect a lot of what we think and decide to act on, so it makes sense that we should look at how we respond to things online through that lens. Also, I must mention that I was pretty excited about your example using the AT. My brother just finished thru-hiking it (NOBO) this summer and fall–we were nervous he wasn’t going to make it because of the earlier winter weather the north experiences. I, too, would be absolutely shocked if I heard someone had completed the AT in the winter months. That example, in fact, makes much more sense to me than the soccer example in the book. i had trouble understanding that one, probably because I don’t care much about soccer. Great post; thanks for your insight!
