Mashable: Blog Review

The first Blog I picked for review is called Mashable. I picked it because as a cyclist the term "Mash" or even "Mashable" is often referred to riding a bicycle fast or aggressive, however this blog is neither haha. I am not saying that the blog is bad or that I even intended it to be bicycle related, I am simply saying I like the name.

At first glance of Mashable it just looks like a big mash of ads, I could not tell the difference between site content and ads at first until I started scrolling down. The layout reminds me of tumblr because of the post tiles and the way that they are presented. The posts are laid out from side to side rather than top to bottom center scroll which i find jumbled. Although I do feel that this site seems like one someone would want to arrive at just for headlines and news so maybe it is perfect for that. Overall this is not my kind of site but that does not mean that it is bad it just means that it is not my cup of tea. Cheers, Michael B

Weebly: Review

Weebly: At first view of weebly I thought it was an educational site only. It wasn't until I clicked around that I noticed it had a publishing feature that was similar to a blog. I have picked this site to be the one I will make a post for this weeks assignment. I actually like the layout of the design page it is similar to a blog site or even a picture editing software. I found the features pretty interesting and the options surprised me by how many there actually were. I still am pretty confused how this site is related to education but I am sure that is a function I did not check out because I felt it was unnecessary for this weeks assignment. Overall I dug this site and I will continue to tool around and check out its features. Cheers, Michael Bridges UPDATE: Weebly wanted money to make a post, so I discovered how to do it on Wikidot and its pretty cool, I now take back everything I said on its review :).

Turned Out a Punk Podcast: Review

This podcast is cool because it digs deep into peoples lives who were brought up in the Punk music scene. The producer is in a band that is good so he has the inside scoop and the ability to get good quests. The podcast always starts the same way which takes listeners back in time to when the person first heard punk music or the genre all the way til present day. It is good and you will want more.
