Evaluating web pages

Who can make a web page?

Anyone with a computer and access to a web server. And these people have been busy. According to WorldWideWebSize.com, there were at least 20.19 billion web pages on September 14, 2009.

No editors, no reviewers, no proofreaders required, and often none are involved. No gatekeepers. No one to say "this is good", "this is bad", "this is true" or "this is false."

But, listen up! The responsibility for evaluating this information has not gone away. It has simply shifted from those editors and reviewers to you.

Yes, you.
