      Their logo is good, simple, and uses only two colors which is a good example of logo practice. However, the way it presents this logo in the website made it as a new logo because of the big line behind it and the clip-arts a long with it.

Facebook is gaslighting the web. We can fix it. - Anil Dash - 0 views

  • Facebook has moved from merely being a walled garden into openly attacking its users' ability and willingness to navigate the rest of the web. The evidence that this is true even for sites which embrace Facebook technologies is overwhelming, and the net result is that Facebook is gaslighting users into believing that visiting the web is dangerous or threatening.

          The colour Karma has chosen for her background and themed colour of the website is brownish-red. Brown meaning friendship and reliability and red use most commonly use to catch the attention of the eye. The colour used on this page is eye catching and also sending a new friendly vibe out as if you would like to explore the website more.

          MuscleHack has two main slogans, the highlighted one being "Home of Muscle Growth" and the one in the logo being "Mor Muscle, Less Fat, Less Time." Mark McManus, the blogger who maintains MuscleHack, makes it clear right away that this is a website dedicated to shedding off as much fat and putting on as much muscle in as little time as possible.

          These slogans also suggest (and this can be verified by reading a few blog posts) that Mark very firmly believes that his information contained in this blog is the best (and possibly only) way to safely put on muscle quickly.

      • Muscle growth, which is sometimes called&nbsp; ‘muscle hypertrophy‘, is what this site is all about. Yes there are thousands of different training systems out there, but this one is designed SPECIFICALLY to make your muscles larger – PERIOD!
        • Elias Rumley
          Elias Rumley on 03 Dec 10
           
          Note the first three paragraphs. "... MuscleHack, the home of muscle growth." "If you want to learn how to build muscle fast, MuscleHack is THE place to be." "... this [training program] is designed SPECIFICALLY to make your muscles larger - PERIOD!" Immediately, the blogger uses repetition (in conjunction with the slogans) to get it clear that this website is entirely about muscle gain, no questions asked.

          This section was preceded by the heading "Mark's promise to you". This entire bulleted list is an example of Ethos, where Mark is trying to prove that all the information provided on the blog is genuine, and that there is no scam or illegitimacy in being involved with this blog.

          A search over the website shows that the term "free" appears 9 times on this page. Apparently Mark wants to be very clear that there is no risk in following his blog, as everything here is free. In a sense, it's Logo. This blog is free, and as proven earlier, will not scam you or abuse your information; therefore, you should have no reason to not follow this blog.

      • The Muscle Hacker is Mark McManus, a 29 year old Certified Fitness Instructor committed to helping others build the body of their dreams. Mark is a naturally skinny guy who overcame the hardgainer's curse through years of research and personal experience. Whether you want to build new slabs of muscle or drop your body fat percentage to reveal chiseled abs, Mark CAN make it happen for you.
        • Elias Rumley
          Elias Rumley on 03 Dec 10
           
          Mark uses Ethos by claiming he is a Certified Fitness Instructor, who was a "hardgainer" (ie, a skinny or slim male who has difficulty in developing muscle) who overcame this barrier; therefore, he must have the credentials to help you gain muscle also.

          Near the top of the page, you have an opportunity to "grap a copy of Mark's FREE book". I have personally looked into this myself, and what it doesn't tell you is that this is that you end up the mailing list by asking for this book. While it is very easy to withdraw from the mailing list, it is a clever trick to get you to come back to this website at least once to remove yourself from the list. Mark may realize that one return to his website could be enough to keep you coming back for more out of curiosity, something he as a blogger wants out of readers.

          The website is riddled with pictures of muscular men. This is an appeal to men who want to have that physical appearance. The pictures are an attempt to subconsciously plant the (inaccurate) logic of "If I read this blog, I will look like these men" in the minds of certain readers.

          To provide an outlet for users to passively advertise MuscleHack, users have the option to like MuscleHack on Facebook. The ideology behind this is that this act of liking MuscleHack will result in a post in Facebook's news feed, resulting in the possibility of Mark receiving a new reader from a curious Facebooker.

          It's not a major thing, but it is still worth noticing that Mark generously uses font formatting to his advantage in his writing. Headings and sub-headings have different size and style of font. Points which call for extra attention in the body writing are written in red to draw in readers.

          I find it interesting how the homepage has a cool little applet like a body-fat-calculator on the sit of the page. I am willing to bet that this is put there in order to boost the amount of hits for this page. Somebody can suggest to their friend, "Check out Musclehack.com, there's this body fat calculator on the homepage that you may find useful!" Mark is hoping that these readers who stopped by for the litlle gizmo may stay as permanent blog followers.

          This page has a great visual layout. The colour schemes go well and it is easy to direct your way around the site. The success story candidates all have their names underneath their photos, when you drag the mouse over the name is changes colour to red and to number or pounds lost. It is then easy to click on the name and see more pictures of the model. One criticism is that some of the before and after pictures don't look like the same person. This takes credibility away from Hydroxycut as the potential consumer may feel like they're being lied to.

          The real life success story models are all happy with big smiles on their faces. This appeals to pathos (appealing to the audiences emotion.) Hydroxycut wants the viewer to envy and want to look like the models, maybe even draw out jelousy in the viewer. This will in turn entice the viewer of the website to purchase Hydroxycut in hopes of being as happy and in shape as the models are.

I overlooked many of them because he was a Brazilian god who worked in my campus restaurant and used to talk about amazing directors when he served me. But when I look back on the couple times that we had sex and the couple more times that we went out on real dates all I can remember is him huffing and puffing while he shovelled sushi into his mouth.

Her arguments themselves are one-sided because they are just her views. The comments add to this article because it shows an opposing view and allows for alternatives.

      • Technological networks have transformed prominent businesses sectors: music, television, financial, manufacturing. Social networks, driven by technological networks, have similarly transformed communication, news, and personal interactions. Education sits at the social/technological nexus of change – primed for dramatic transformative change. In recent posts, I’ve argued for needed systemic innovation. I’d like focus more specifically on how teaching is impacted by social and technological networks.
        ...

      • social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher. Networks thin classroom walls. Experts are no longer “out there” or “over there”. Skype brings anyone, from anywhere, into a classroom. Students are not confined to interacting with only the ideas of a researcher or theorist. Instead, a student can interact directly with researchers through Twitter, blogs, Facebook, and listservs. The largely unitary voice of the traditional teacher is fragmented by the limitless conversation opportunities available in networks. When learners have control of the tools of conversation, they also control the conversations in which they choose to engage.
        ...
        Cancel
      • Course content is similarly fragmented. The textbook is now augmented with YouTube videos, online articles, simulations, Second Life builds, virtual museums, Diigo content trails, StumpleUpon reflections, and so on.

      • Fortunately, the experience of wayfinding is now augmented by social systems.
        ...
        Cancel
      • I found my way through personal trial and error. Today’s social web is no different – we find our way through active exploration. Designers can aid the wayfinding process through consistency of design and functionality across various tools, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the individual to click/fail/recoup and continue.

      • The curator, in a learning context, arranges key elements of a subject in such a manner that learners will “bump into” them throughout the course. Instead of explicitly stating “you must know this”, the curator includes critical course concepts in her dialogue with learners, her comments on blog posts, her in-class discussions, and in her personal reflections.

      • magine a course where the fragmented conversations and content are analyzed (monitored) through a similar service. Instead of creating a structure of the course in advance of the students starting (the current model), course structure emerges through numerous fragmented interactions. “Intelligence” is applied after the content and interactions start, not before.

      • Aggregation should do the same – reveal the content and conversation structure of the course as it unfolds, rather than defining it in advance.

      • Filtering resources is an important educator role, but as noted already, effective filtering can be done through a combination of wayfinding, social sensemaking, and aggregation. But expertise still matters. Educators often have years or decades of experience in a field. As such, they are familiar with many of the concepts, pitfalls, confusions, and distractions that learners are likely to encounter.

      • Without an online identity, you can’t connect with others – to know and be known. I don’t think I’m overstating the importance of have a presence in order to participate in networks. To teach well in networks – to weave a narrative of coherence with learners – requires a point of presence. As a course progresses, the teacher provides summary comments, synthesizes discussions, provides critical perspectives, and directs learners to resources they may not have encountered before.

          The text that reads "Join Riot Games" is big, noticeable, and written weird. This could just be an add to attract new employees, but I think it's also a marketing tool. This add makes this company seem more like a locally owned business, rather than a big corporate giant, making people feel more comfortable around it. (text)

          This site caught my attention immediately. It looked soothing, it is easy to read and it deals with a delicate subject that affects many people. I think the colors of the page accomplished what it probably set out to do, which was create calm. Let's not forget, we are dealing with depression. This subject means something to me as I suffer from it on occasion. I can associate with this personally. The subject is not so much a controversial one, however, those who don't suffer from depression have been known to say, "Get over it!", which can be a negative experience for one in the throws of depression. I think the writers' purpose here it to inform and explain the symptoms of the disease as experienced by those it affects. I believe it also provides a forum for those who simply want to explain where they are at in their depression and to encourage others to understand that this is real and it affects many. It also serves more than one purpose as it provides suggestions on how to deal with it.The thesis, or the overall main point is basically to let the disease speak for itself and allow others to comment on the subjectThe tone of the text is relaxed and does not create feelings of unrest. It provides answers and links to all issues surrounding the subject of depression. I really liked the graphics of what appears to be grass. I imagine laying down in it and breathing in the fresh air. I also took a shine to the dandelions on the right side and I specifically liked the "I'm done hiding" at the top of the page. Many people hide the depression as they are embarrassed.  The highlighted areas are stand out texts for me.

          Logos is achieved as the words are logical. Pathos is achieved as it appeals to my emotions because I have first hand knowledge of this sickness called depression. Ethos is achieved because I trust and believe the written word.

      • Michele wants government to make the kind of serious spending decisions that many families and small businesses have been forced to make.
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          Here she is aligning herself with the middle-class which could serve to distinguish her from some of the other Republican candidates who have been critiqued for over-looking the middle-class. It also alludes to her dissatisfaction with recent government spending and bailout packages. She is siding with the everyday American who protested the extreme government spending amid the recession. Provides pathos as it shows her sense of financial responsibility and similarity with everyday Americans.

      • Michele is a leading advocate for tax reform, a staunch opponent of wasteful government spending, and a strong proponent of adherence to the Constitution, as intended by the Founding Fathers.
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          The sentence is elegantly written and effectively uses parallel structure which appeals to the audience's logic. The sentence concludes with a reference to the Founding Fathers which rouses nostalgia for the beginning of the United States. This nostalgia can be very affective as many Americans (especially Republicans) feel that government was best under the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers personify all that is great about being American-independence, democracy and strength. Founding Fathers also alludes to the joyous celebration of the Fourth of July (Independence Day) which provokes pathos.There is also a simile here as she compares herself to the Founding Fathers.

      • She is also a defender of the unborn and staunchly stands for religious liberties.
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          As " a defender of the unborn", Bachmann positions herself as pro-life. The phrase is a euphemism as it is a nicer way of saying against abortion. The second part of the sentence "staunchly stands for religious liberties" is likely a second euphemism stating her siding with the bible on topics such as same-sex marriage. Both stances develop ethos especially amongst Republicans and may also appeal to emotion as the topics are deeply personal.

      • In July 2010, Michele hosted the first Tea Party Caucus meeting. She is seen as a champion of Tea Party values
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          Here she positions herself of a leader of the Tea Party which adds considerable credibility (ethos) to her candidacy because of the Tea Party's considerable resources and growing popularity. It is important for Bachmann to identify herself as a leader as that is what people are voting for. Also note how the term "champion" is consistent with the website's continued emphasis on winning.

      • Michele and Marcus have five children, Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia. In addition, the Bachmann family has opened their home to 23 foster children
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 18 Jul 11
           
          This sentence develops both ethos and pathos. Ethos as she is seen more reputable and trustworthy by having such a large and seemingly happy family. The main purpose here is pathos as she depicts herself as a loving and devoted humanitarian. She is portrayed here as a mother figure, someone responsible that can look after a large and diverse household (a metaphor for the United States?).This last statement develops a paradox between her portrayal throughout the passage as a tough candidate like one of the Founding Fathers, and her portrayal as a loving, responsible mother who can take care of the nation. Very Interesting.

      • Michele is the first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          Interestingly, this is the only line in the passage that directly points to Bachmann's uniqueness as a female candidate. Potential supporters who were unsure whether she could become the first female president will be reinforced by her being the first Republican elected to the House of Representatives from Minnesota. It achieves ethos as she becomes a more credible candidate as well as logos because "if she was the first woman from Minnesota than why can't she be the first woman president". For the female audience, it may also be pathos as she is seen as breaking down barriers to womens freedom.

      • Michele Bachmann is running for president to bring a new voice to the White House
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          The main use of rhetoric in Bachmann's opening line is "bring a new voice to the White House". The new voice rhetoric is very common among presidential candidates as it is a metaphor for change. Indirectly this new voice represents the possibility of correcting the current governmental problems. It appeals mostly to ethos as it could inspire hope in the audience.

        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          The sentence develops ethos and pathos in the audience. Ethos as her character and reputation is bolstered by her emphasis on education. Pathos as she highlights having started a school for at-risk kids; specifying "at-risk kids" adds emotion to the description and depicts her as empathetic.

      • Serving on the Intelligence Committee, she has consistently advocated peace through strength to ensure America's national security. She has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
        • Alexander Condon
          Alexander Condon on 16 Jul 11
           
          Here she states her stance on foreign policy. She successfully aligns herself with the Americans who seek an end to the War in Afghanistan by stating that "she has consistently advocated peace". Also she answers the critics who think she won't be tough enough by saying that "she has proudly taken a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies". She shows experience and ability by having served on the Intelligence Committee (logos). "Taking a vow" appeals to emotion as it carries the connotative meaning of commitment, dedication, and marriage.

          The video introduction is a very persuasive addition to the website for several reasons:1. It provides a quick synopsis of the website that young voters and those pressed for time will greatly appreciate.2. Logos: She emphasizes having already been successful as a congresswoman. Describes herself as a hard-worker. Also note the attention to detail in having the message exactly one minute long.3. Ethos: She begins by establishing herself as an official candidate having done all the paperwork. Seems trustworthy through eye contact and fluent speech.4. Pathos:Talks about "taking your voice" to the White House and being a "winning team". Concludes by passionately telling viewers that "we can do this".

          Argument/PurposeThe website is intended to convince Republican delegates and all other voting-age American citizens that Michele Bachmann should become the next US President and that they should vote for her.  Audience: The audience is voting-age Americans. It is not intended for Canadians or audiences from any other nationalities.

          The picture depicts Bachmann as patriotic (the flag on her collar), conservative (seems to be conservatively dressed), and happy (the big smile-ethos). It's interesting that she's not looking at the camera but rather up and to the side. Might have been done because she looks better from this angle, or potentially to show her as ambitious and aspiring. -also note her husband's smiling picture located underneath the video. He is well-dressed (ethos) and again smiling (pathos). Showing that she's married also adds to her candidacy especially among the more conservative Republicans.

          Bachmann logo found here at the top as well as at the very bottom serves to authenticate the document. It's symbolic of an official stamp or even the presidential seal. Of note are the stars (again the allusion to success and winning, as well as patriotic); the red, white, and blue classic American colours; and the red and white stripes through the 'H' in Bachmann which allude to the American flag. The authenticity of the stamp appeals to the logic (logos) of the viewer as well as adding to Bachmann's credibility (ethos). The patriotic symbolism appeals to the strong patriotic emotions of the visitors.

          The page is entitled "A Conservative Choice for President | Michele Bachmann for President". It is significant because Michele is a Republican candidate and the party is built on conservatism. She is evoking ethos as stressing herself as a "Conservative Choice" establishes her as a good fit for the party.

          The page exhibits a red, white, and blue theme. These symbolic American colours are used to evoke both pathos and ethos in visitors. Pathos as the colours appeal to emotions by giving American's a comforting patriotic feeling. Ethos as the colours help develop Bachmann's character as patriotic, loyal, and trust worthy. The colours also make it nice to read as they provide visual continuity.

          Pictures of Bachmann speaking with people in the community are persuasive by developing logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos: seeing her speaking with seemingly everyday people adds support to her claims of being "the voice of the people". Ethos: the pictures make her appear more trustworthy and reputable. especially the picture of her shaking a woman's handPathos: She is again smiling in the pictures which evokes happiness. She is also photographed speaking with hand gestures which shows passion.

          Notice the applauding crowd in the background; the viewer assumes that the crowd is applauding for Bachmann and this provokes ethos as her credibility is enhanced by the image. It is also potentially pathos as it can be seen as a metaphoric image of a crowd during a (presidential) victory speech. The symbolic image of the victory speech evokes happy emotions of winning; relate it back to the video where she calls it "a winning team".
