just by looking at this URL, many people will have many ideas of this website. however, today, i am suppose to evaluate it using the criterias.

i have found the following on the website -
proving the purpose (which is more of entertainment with news and info):

'Founded in August 2000 as a forum for friends to share jokes with each other.'
'TalkingCock is committed to preserving and advancing the authentic voice of Singaporeans.'
'Singapore's premier satirical humour website!'
'TalkingCock.com aims to provide you with stories and features that are always tongue-in-cheek, sometimes foot-in-mouth, and most of the time, finger-in-nose.'
'Exercise free speech - keep TalkingCock!'

Coverage: I think there is no as to how detailed this website can get, as it is like a forum. The website will be mainly on making fun and more about Singaporeans and discussions of their actions.
Authority: I think that a discussion forum on like Singaporeans’ action does not need to be qualified as many and almost all are comments.
Currency: not that applicable because a discussion forum is dependable on the number of people who visit the website and forum. However, the rest are copyrighted from 2000-2003.

accessibility:
well… from the homepage, anyone can enter if they accept how the forum or website is going to be. A registration is required if the user want to get more involved with the forum. Other than that, anyone can read the information posted.
presentation:
the homepage is very eye-catching as the whole page is red. The presentation wise after entering the forum is organized and arranged, but the fun thing is there will be some fun and interesting logos around.
Making comparison with others:
comparing it to other discussion forum or website, I think people will find it more fun, refreshing. No matter if you are a Singaporean. But, the possibility is mainly Singaporeans as foreigners won’t understand so much of Singlish.

all and all, the overall quality is good when finding Singapore's culture and their honest opinions of jokes on Singapore & Sinagporeans. i will recommend to those will can accept those HONESTY! :P

If i were....
A Foreigner working / studying in Singapore

i will think that this website is very interesting on jokes about Singaporeans themselves. i will also help me understand better how to SURVIVE in Singapore. understanding the Singlish, the culture and more. and after i understand, i will visit the forum more often and particpate in them. very interactive too.

i used quite a few criterias to evaluate, like purpose, accessiblity, presentation and comparison. as to why i chose those is because i find them relevant to my evaulation as the rest of the criterias are not applicable to this website.

today's activity is fun as the talkingcock.com, is a lot of comments and like new facts and 'rubbish' there. i learn quite a lot of new things. a place to relax and laugh off! :D
