Help me review this memo answering the questions below.
my memo is Foldable phones appear to be the technology of the future. These two websites discuss foldable phones in a way to excite their readers. CNET.com is a website that provides product reviews, product advice, and the latest technology news. LinkedIn.com is a social media platform that links friends, co-workers, and associates through employment and business. Each of these sites cater to different audiences and their website on foldable phones is an example of such.
CNET.com primarily serves an audience for technology buffs. Those that like to keep up to date with regards to the newest technology. They also help consumers of tech products by using the products and providing the cons and pros of the products. Linkedin.com serves the business community by linking employers with employees, but also associates and friends with one another. These websites will have a cross-sectional audience because many tech consumers or enthusiasts also have a profile on the LinkedIn.com website.
Secondary audiences are potential readers of a document that received a copy of a document. CNET.com readers would like share this website with other technological enthusiasts who have not heard of this technology or unfamiliar with this new technology. LinkedIn.com readers primary users are businesspersons, and their secondary users would be people who share a common interest of technology with the primary user.
CNET.com doesn’t necessarily use persuasion as it is known in the technology world as a website that provides technological information on tech, while LinkedIn.com does advertisements online, television, and radio. CNET.com uses its reputation to draw its consumers of its website, while LinkedIn.com uses its draw of employment opportunities and the linking of friends, co-workers, and associates. LinkedIn.com has competition of other social media platforms such as Facebook, but it differs from Facebook in that it differs from the people it is trying to connect.
Both websites use technological wording as they are describing a newer technology. I believe both websites use the same type of wording describing foldable phones. They each provide a history of phones and a look into the future of foldable phones. CNET.com goes more into depth as the writer of the story went to Korea (the home of Samsung, the creator of the foldable phones) to gather information with regards to the website. Both websites describe the foldable smartphone using wording that is primarily used in technology including portability, multitasking, innovation.
The CNET.com website on foldable phones has a 6 word length per sentence and has a 5 sentence length per paragraph. The LinkedIn.com site has a 7 word length per sentence and has a 8 sentence length per paragraph. This does not mean much in the bigger scheme of things because they just organize the information differently, but the information is primarily the same except the introduction the writers from CNET.com trip to Korea to gather information regarding this new technology.
Both websites have a style in which they reach their audience. The LinkedIn.com website seems to have a formal style almost like a report, while the CNET.com style is informal as they are introducing their audience to a new technology.
The both have advertising on their websites. Advertisements are a show of what type of consumers that they attract to their website. At CNET.com’s website, they link cookies from the user’s computer. LinkedIn’s website links particular articles from the author.
In comparing and contrasting the websites. The linkedIn website has a more business approach as it readers are more business minded. The CNET.com’s website is more for technological minds and they use pictures and graphs to show how their information is relayed. It is important for there to be good websites that portray both a technical and non-technical side of information.
