Evaluation of Social Media Sources

Good social media sources are harder to find as most of them are more opinionated or off-topic. Below I have analyzed two sources from twitter relating to my controversy, the Tokyo 2020 olympic stadium.

Source 1:

Jankowski, Jessica. "Screenshot"  9/5/2015

Credibility:
Jim Slater is a health and safety advisor for construction, design, and management. Information about him is provided on his website.

Location:
Jim Slater is involved in the architecture and design industry however he is not directly related to the Tokyo stadium controversy.

Network:
Slater is followed by industry-related companies/people on his twitter account. Some examples are Design and Build, JAR Architecture, shineAsbestos, and Prestige Builds.

Content/Contextual Updates:
The numbers Slater provided are accurate in the estimated costs of the olympic stadium. His twitter account doesn't focus specifically on the Tokyo controversy however Slater tweets about a large number of other projects related to safety and architecture.

Jim Slater has had a twitter since December 2009. He is a reliable source.

Source 2:

Jankowski, Jessica. "Screenshot" 9/5/2015

Credibility:
Bree is involved/passionate about the architecture industry and has 9 articles published on the architecture website Archute.

Location:
Bree seems to not be directly involved in the Tokyo stadium controversy in any way.

Network:
Bree's twitter seems to be a mix of business and personal. She follows 1,407 people and is followed by 1,755.

Content/ Contextual Updates:
Bree joined twitter in March 2011. Her opinion "That's how greatness is made" is a personal opinion that cannot be proven in any way. This takes away from the credibility of her tweet. Overall she is a reliable source, but she is less reliable than source 1 Jim Slater.
