Unit 5 Topic
I plan to write a press release for my final paper. I think that everyone has had at least some experience with press releases as they are all around us. They are a common form of announcement among many companies and politicians. The research that I have done so far on the topic as been looking at guides for writing a press release and examples of them.

1. Is the purpose clear from the subject line and introduction? What is the purpose of the memo, in your opinion?
Yes, the purpose is quite clear from the subject line and introduction. The purpose of this memo is to inform the employees of Web Today that their default web browser will be changing to Google Chrome.
2. Is the information presented in a thorough, logical manner? If yes, briefly characterize the way the information is organized. If not, suggest a different organizational scheme and/or tell the writer what is missing from the body of the memo.
Yes, I believe that the information is presented in a thorough, logical manner. He starts out with the big idea of the memo, the switch from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome, and then he presents some details to support his decision to move from Internet Explorer to Chrome. He uses a list to present some key improvements of the new browser over the former and describes why Chrome is better as well.
3. Are headings and lists used effectively to maximize the chances that the audience will read and understand the entire memo? If so, tell the writer what was done well. If not, make suggestions for improvements.
Yes, Taylor breaks his memo up into two sections using a header. The header denotes the new section as details, and improves the overall readability of the memo and information flow. The list of differences between the browsers also helps with reading the memo as it pulls out key points and presents them in a friendly way. One thing that I would change though, would be the vagueness of the points in the list. Instead of just saying “Speed”, saying something like “A 67% increase in speed”, this just makes the points in the list make more sense and provide richer information.
4. Is the language courteous and formal? Does the tone sound overly stiff and formal, or too informal? How would you describe the tone of the memo?
The tone feels very good for this memo. It is formal, but not boring and tired. It has a good balance of professionalism and friendliness. I would describe the tone as pro-friendly-al.
5. Are there any errors in grammar, spelling, or mechanics?
“With such advancement of the web there is the difference of which web browser to use”
-This doesn’t really make much sense, I think that choice would be a better word.
‘Web Today requires the use of employees to visit and maintain multiple websites for multiple companies.”
-Feel like use isn’t the right word here. Maybe take out: “the use of” entirely.
“With the new UI comes an easy to use plugin manager…”
-There should be a comma after “UI”

FROM: Taylor Boyd, IT technical lead
DATE: February 23, 2015
SUBJECT: Web Browser Change
The internet is transforming in multiple ways, proving to be more useful than ever before. Each employee uses the internet every day, accessing websites, email, and...

Memo First Draft - Team Encouragement
TO: All Employees
FROM: Jadon Leininger, President
DATE: February 17, 2015
SUBJECT: Finishing Our Big Project
I am writing to provide everyone a little encouragement for the last few legs of this project. I know that everyone has worked exceptionally hard on this and put in their best effort. I want to thank everyone for working so hard on this project the last couple of months. I am proud of everyone’s effort and look forward to the final release of this product.
Even though we have tried so hard and got so far, in the end, we still have a deadline to meet. We need to keep pushing toward this product. We cannot fail to deliver; doing so could result in us losing it all. I know that you have all put your trust in me, and I have pushed you all as far you can go. Nevertheless, all of that is going to pay off and I want you all to know: We are almost there!
Therefore, everyone keep that in mind, I designed this memo to remind you all of the progress that we have made and that we certainly can get this thing done! I know that deadlines can be stressful, but time is a valuable thing, the clock can really tick our efficiency away. I know that it is tough now, but all the stress and late nights will eventually be a memory of a time when we all worked so hard. This team is not the way it was before; I think many people would not even recognize us anymore, because we have all grown, improved, and matured. I am proud of everyone on this team and look forward to seeing you all at the release party for this product. If you have any concerns or comments about this memo, please do not be afraid to let me know.

Annotated Bibliography #6
Harbison, N. (2014, August 6). Startups and depression: the dark side of entrepreneurship. The Guardian. Retrieved from http://www.theguardian.com/
This online newspaper article, written by Niall Harbison, endeavors to show a darker side of the startup scene. Mr. Harbison uses his own experience to show how the extreme stress and workload of the startup scene can lead to depression. He also claims that many people who are exceptionally busy or stressed may experience depression and never even know it. He asserts that many people think a successful career equals happiness and that that is not always true. The article is short, and is primarily written as a short anecdote concerning Mr. Harbison’s own experience in the startup world. It is written for both people in the startup scene and those simply in a business environment. This article is a caution to those that may be struggling with a mental illness, like depression, and not know it. Throughout the article, the credibility of the author is, to some extent, questionable. He claims to have worked for several different startups without ever going into any real detail. This does detract from the information slightly while reading the article, but the material is still quite good and the author’s startup experience is listed later in the article.

Annotated Bibliography #5
Jackson, I. (2015, January 28). Should I join a start up, start my own or stay put? Inc. Retrieved from http://www.inc.com/
This online magazine article, written by Ian Jackson, discusses some of the important questions that expose both the good and bad sides of joining a startup. The article is broken up into a series of questions that attempt to assist the reader in understanding if a startup is truly the right place for him or her. The author goes on to explain what age groups can benefit most from joining a startup, the mindset needed to join a startup, or if you should simply start your own business. The author explains the potential risks and rewards from the gamble of joining a newly created company. Author, Ian Jackson, does a good job of not over glorifying the startup scene. He discuss the dangers involved and that startups are not a place for everyone. One point Mr. Jackson touches on that I did find odd was that having a unique idea is not vital to have a successful startup. This is contradictory from many other sources on the subject. Nonetheless, this article makes for a great source of information for people looking to join a startup
