Upon reflection of my hypertext essay I feel my audience was a bit narrow. I don't really think that many people would be interested in internet privacy issues sadly. Despite the huge effect a lack of internet privacy could have on the internet itself. Informing people of the issues of internet privacy are important. It never starts with major jumps in taking away privacy. Privacy is always taken by little itty bitty chunks being taken away over a period of time. My purpose was to obviously get the message out about steps taken by companies and the government, although not the government in this case, to take away our digital freedom.
The design of my hypertext essay was simple admittedly. The organization of my essay I feel was organized well topic-wise, but I think amongst my the text in the separate sections I had some over lapping information. By that I mean somethings were said in one topic them mentioned again in another. The presentation was clear. I tried to make it as simple and as effective at getting my point across as I could, as to not confuse persons traversing my essay.
I am proud of how well I was able to succinctly I was able to get my message across. I am usually loquacious. If I had more time I would have made the arrangement of text more appealing to the eye. Possibly add in a picture or maybe put in bulleted lists in stead of just standard in text lists with a lot of commas. If I had greater technical knowledge I would have designed a better layout.
The research for this topic was fairly easy. It article has been circulated around the internet already. There are also a plethora of websites about internet privacy and this particular issue with Facebook and Beacon. Many people have responded to Beacon, negatively I might add. the 50,000 plus signers of the moveon.org petition.

While it might be true that not everyone is interested in internet privacy, nearly everyone is interested in privacy issues. You get everyone involved in the issue of internet privacy by making larger connections -- such as the one to the concern about privacy in general. You'd want to show your readers that internet privacy is just one piece of the privacy issue which concerns all of us.
I myself thought the writing part was easy. I did my hypertext essay on Class Divisions through Myspace and Facebook. I aslo thought the topic was a bit narrow, and it was very hard finding creditable sources. When designing the whole document in Dream Weaver I found it a bit difficult at first. As I began to mess with it a little bit I also found it easy.
Well, you get an A in modesty.
