I used the criteria of purpose to evaluate Stomp. Why purpose? Because these stompers are trying to put a point across for the readers to understand their views. As citizen journalism is also brought about by the citizen’s views on a particular subject. And without the purpose of their post, what is there to post and upload about? For me, although I find that some posts are very retarded, but I realize that the poster had something he wants to post. Even a post comes with a purpose. Without purpose, What is there to post?
I don’t actually wiki much as I don’t think I’m the kind who would opt for wiki-ing. Even though I sometimes get information from wikis. No doubt it is very easy to just add in information into these wikis. Sometimes it actually gets to a point where users have conflicts over a certain understanding and refuses to discuss it. And the information is always confused. And the topic is always open to any edits by other users. So I guess that the editing and adding of information is also based on trust and the proper citation of sources if used.
