Article Evaluation

Advertising to children is a good article; it explains the main relationship between food advertisements and children. But I think the article should also research other aspects such as the toy, the clothes, and the electronic products, whether these affect the children's personality or improve the business profit. The opening paragraph also should be rewritten, because it did not narrate the main effects of the advertisement to children. If this article adds some picture, this article will be much better.

Potential Topics

The first topic I would choose New Media. It is a time of science and technology. Because technology, information spread more quick and wide. The relation between the world and people becomes closer than before. However, this article lacks the effect of new media in people's lives.

The second topic I would choose Visual Communication. It is a new topic, and it cannot separate from Visual Communication Design. There are lots of new technology invented for visual communication; it is a visual impact. However, I think the article did not talk about its development process.

The third topic I would choose Sina Weibo. It is a social media in China, the same as Twitter. In this article, it recommends the history, business, and accounts. I think it can discuss the difference between the Sina Weibo and Twitter.

Finalizing the topic: Sina Weibo

Sina Weibo is a topic I want to edit it. It is a social media in China, as a combination of Twitter, Facebook, and Medium, I use it every day. The website explains clearly what is Sina Weibo, but I want to add some impacts of Sina Weibo in Chinese people's lives. Therefore, I will write the difference between the Sina Weibo and Twitter. I think the page is kind of messy; I would like to organize the small topic to be more logical. Besides, I find out the small topics of the Sina Weibo website is not as rich as the Twitter website. I will add more small topics to make American people get inside into this topic.

My Edits

Background:

Sina Weibo is a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website and is one of the biggest social media platforms in China. Sina Weibo is a service website launched by sina.com to provide microblogging services. Users can send messages and multimedia messaging service through the website and the App, and they also can upload pictures and videos to the public for instant sharing. Users can directly add comments, pictures, and videos under in the comment section. Sina Weibo is a platform based on user relationships to share information, to disseminate information, and to get information. Sina Weibo invited a huge number of stars and celebrities to join the microblogging at the beginning. But now, it also invites many media workers, a large number of government departments, enterprises, and non-governmental organizations to open accounts on Sina Weibo, using it as a platform for publishing and communicating information. To avoid the impersonation of celebrity weibo, those celebrities' accounts would add an orange letter "V" and those organizations' accounts would add a blue letter "V". The orange letter "V" and the blue letter "V" are the real-name certifications for them to show the difference between ordinary users and micro-bloggers. However, the functions of weibo are the same for every user. Sina Weibo has more than 500 million registered users; there are 313 million monthly active users; 85% of them use Weibo on their mobile; there are over 100 million messages posted by users each day; 70% of Weibo's active users are at university level; 50.10% of Weibo users are male, 49.90% are female; with 90 million followers, actress Xie Na is the number 1 Weibo celebrity.

With more and more foreign stars entering Sina Weibo, language translation has become an urgent need for Chinese fans to communicate with foreign idols in zero distance. English is ok, but the Korean language is still a headache for most users. In January 2013, Sina Weibo and NetEase.com announced that they had reached strategic cooperation. When users browse the foreign language content issued by foreign stars of Sina Weibo, they can directly obtain the translation results through the YouDao Dictionary, which satisfies the language of Sina Weibo users. Class requirements.

The Sina Weibo financial report in February 2013 showed that its total revenue was approximately US$66 million and the number of registered users exceeded the 500 million mark.

In April 2013, Sina officially announced that Sina Weibo had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Alibaba. The two sides conducted in-depth cooperation in areas such as user account interoperability, data exchange, online payment, and internet marketing. At the same time, Sina announced that Alibaba, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased the preferred shares and common shares issued by Sina Weibo Company for US$586 million, which accounted for approximately 18% of Weibo's fully diluted and diluted total shares.

The Second stage: The turning point (October 2011 - first half of 2014)

I think your first paragraph is great. It gives a lot of information on the app, it says who the app caters to, and you provided additional statistics. I think you could go into more about the history and fill out some of the sentences in your list. I would also like to know more about the differences between Twitter and this app. Maybe also see if you can find scholarly sources to give your writing more credibility. Overall, great start! ~Travelphotog

Hey! I think that this is a very good article, you have some really good information in here. The only big changes I can see are in format. You might want to add headings around to split up the information. I also think you should look for more sources since right now wikipedia is one of your sources. I think the history section should be set up more like a timeline and I know wikipedia has some great tools for doing that. Furthermore I am not sure how relevant the comparison to twitter is, if you are not going to compare it to other social media outlets. Why just twitter? Some of the events in thre history section seem broad. For example, "The turning point (October 2011 - first half of 2014)" i am not sure what this means. Overall I think its very well written and you have a lot of room to add material :) ~~~~

I will write more details about the difference. The turning point means the year was Sina Weibo from failure to success.

I hope you can later introduce more about the performance and impact of Sina Weibo. As for the comparison with Twitter, personally think that it is not very necessary to put it in Wikipedia. Overall it is a good article!~~~~

Both of them are microblogging, but they include different culture background.
