1. What was discussed today in class? Today in class we discussed different medians of news from different newspapers like the SF chronicle or USA today and the differences in articles and the spillover. Along with that we discussed different ways to advance searches and we talked about del.ios.us and we talked about the difference between objective and objectionable. Then we played telephone.
2.What points were particularly important to you and why? I guess the parts that were important to me would be del.ious.us because it looked very useful to keep my favorites on different computer and could be quite handy to me.
3. What change will you make in your approach to research? I will try to make my searches on search engines more efficient with better key words, and I will also cite it well so that other can follow my work.
4. What other ideas and thoughts do you have about researching the authority of a source, whether it's news, a website, or some other information source? The best way in my opinion to check the authority of the source is by the .com, because a .edu or .org would probably more reliable. And to tell it is news or other information would have to be a personal judgment you could only acquire through practice.
5. What other ideas and thoughts do you have about topic development? I think it is good for us to learn to discern the difference between information and research from a biased article or media that would tarnish a good research paper.

It's deli.cio.us if you're planning on looking at it.
While "objective" and "objectionable" came into the conversation, my goal was to investigate "objective" and "subjective." Someone confused objective and objectionable!
You write: "And to tell it is news or other information would have to be a personal judgment you could only acquire through practice." Certainly, practice is really important, but there are ways to validate information by searching for it in a number of sources to find validating or corroborating data and opinion.
