		<title>Discussion from last week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My thoughts on the experience:  I don&#8217;t really have any new thoughts. Tony, Kristina and I all managed, without a lot of discussion about it, to focus on different aspects of the subject.  I was somewhat frustrated by the fact that the Sephora tooth-whitening video I selected wouldn&#8217;t run&#8211;but as Kathy pointed out, the very [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=29&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Are the chattering classes listening only to themselves?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
Why Employees are More Trusted Than the CEO
I had to look up the phrase “chattering classes,” which is a Britishism. It is, interestingly, “frequently derogatory,” (not sure why&#8211;was it coined by the upper class?) and means “members of the educated metropolitan middle class, esp. those in academic, artistic, or media circles, considered as a social [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=28&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Discussion leader abstract and links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Abstract for my presentation:
As the growth of online commerce begins to slow, e-tailers are considering the trust barriers that keep potential customers from spending online. The fears that many e-consumers had a decade ago are still around. There are well-recognized ways to create credibility, and consumer research shows a few tried-and-true methods used by the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=26&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Perceived credibility: an elusive concept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Measuring Online Trust of Websites: Credibility, Perceived Ease of Use, and Risk
This particular paper is about the development of a survey tool for measuring online trust. Social scientists have long had good data about offline trust, but have not until recently had a body of information about online trust. Obviously, many commercial websites would love [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=23&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cluelessness is not credible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wonder if Kathy had us read &#8220;Credibility Assessments of Online Health Information&#8221; because she knew it would crash (some of) our browsers. I tried several times to get into this site to read the article before I realized that I just wasn&#8217;t going to be able to read it in Firefox.  I personally [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=22&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How ubiquitous do Gb networks need to be?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hardly anti-progress (and I am no fan of Qwest) but it seems to me that there&#8217;s a lot of Sturm und Drang in the IEEE&#8217;s white paper about Gb networks and why we have to have them RIGHT NOW or risk getting creamed in some kind of global thumb-wrestling match.
The paper starts off well: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=21&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Notes from Matt McGarrity&#8217;s talk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
Rhetoric is:
&#160;
Persuasion thru argument – logic and reasoning
Persuasion thru identification  &#8211; constructing a shared identity
Persuasion thru framing – manipulating the user&#8217;s view of the information
&#160;
Persuasion through Argument
Aristotle:  logos, pathos, ethos
LOGOS shows us something, or seems to – it offers a claim supported by evidence
	political blog example: www.thinkprogress.org
PATHOS arouses emotions in the audience; we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=20&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My take-aways from this week&#8217;s star blogs:
Chloe: Everyone should tell a story every day.
Kaichen: Pictures facilitate memory.
Luke: There are no new stories, only new ways to tell them.
Tony: To learn to tell interesting stories, read interesting stories.
Vaun: Use Appelcline&#8217;s toolbox to figure out why the above are interesting stories.

		<title>Good storytelling&#8230;in the right context</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading Kimberly Appelcline&#8217;s &#8220;The Elements of Good Storytelling&#8221; makes me glad that someone is considering what the rules are, but I wonder why there&#8217;s no discussion of context.  Uncle Harry&#8217;s story about disemboweling a Viet Cong fighter in the tunnels of Cu Chi might be a great story&#8211;well told, historically important, exciting&#8211;but his great-niece&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=trinx.wordpress.com&blog=922058&post=17&subd=trinx&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
