Credibility on the web

Speaking of the case of the pregnant man, over at Cazuela de Pinguino, Carlos writes about the reaction of the Diario Austral de Temuco.

The phenomenon is interesting enough that there are researchers working on the subject:
Stanford Web Credibility Project.

There is an interesting paper, published at SIGCHI, The Elements of Computer Credibility. You have to be an ACM member to download it, but those of us interested in the subject can get in touch by email.
