Uddrag
Her giver vi en lille læseprøve på webbogens indhold:
What Uber is
The Uber concept is explained in the articles, “What is Uber and what should I think about the controversies?”, and “Why Uber Is So Controversial”.
From “What is Uber…” , we find out that Uber is “a San Francisco-based technology company” (l. 1) which functions as “a smartphone app that acts as a middleman between freelance minicab drivers and passengers” (ll. 2-3).
“Why Uber Is So Controversial” defines Uber as “a ride sharing network” (l. 1) which is run “as a virtual company, with its drivers being outsourced contractors” (ll. 6-7).
In other words, Uber is an Internet app which offers taxi-like services, joining drivers and passengers.
