My Sites

1. Facebook.com

  • I like all the different things you can do on the site, and the fact that it's free.
  • I use the site mainly to talk to people who are really far away...like Europe.
  • I would make the video chat feature,that has been added to chat box, a lot better quality.
  • Pros: you can make your profile as private as you want. You can share information with some people and not with others.
  • Cons: The site changes too often, it's hard to get to some of the feature(like the games).
  •  competitor site is Myspace, which I used to use, but just recently deleted my profile.
2. gmail.com

  • I like all the different programs it has on it.(google Docs, Translate, Maps, etc.)
  • Having a browser homepage and being able to customize it anyway I want, being able to access all my documents from any computer, if they're on the site.
  • I use this site for email, doing papers, watching videos with the youtube app on the homepage.
  • I would make this site have fewer features. There are sub catigories for sub catigories, it gets confusing when you're searching for a program, but can't find the exact one, since there are so many different options.
  • Pros: easily accesible, very organized, customizable
  • Cons: Way too many options for just one program
  • A competitor would be Hotmail.com, Aol.com, Yahoo.com; which I use, but only for email purposes.
3. Youtube.com

  • I like that you can find just about any type of video on this site.
  • I use the site to watch music videos, or Vlogs by JennaMarbles and HelloKymmy
  • I think the site should restrict the videos a little more, because some of those videos are crazy.
  • Pros: people can post their own videos, it does have a parental control on it for some videos
  • Cons: some video search results you get are completely unrelated to your search
  • Megavideo.com is a competitor
4. Mylifetime.com



  • I can catch up on any shows i may have missed, like Project Runway.
  • To watch shows I missed, or watch any movies they have listed.
  • I would make it so videos of missed shows were added sooner than 7 days.
  • Pros: you can catch up on your shows, watch free movies
  • Cons: videos are posted after a week, lots of options for just on show(blogs,vlogs, extended interviews, short clips, full episodes, previews)
  • a competitor site would be ABCfamily.com
5.Mystyle.com

  • I like that you can get tips on how to dress for a certain occasion
  • to look up current trends, watch missed shows
  • I would make it so that this site had videos out sooner
  • Pros: current on fashion, fashion tips, can watch any shows you may have missed.
  • Cons: videos are out late, it's hard to find the page you want to get to.
  • A competitor site would be teenvogue.com because they both offer fashion advice.

  1. I love JennaMarbles! She's hilarious. And I agree with the point about some of youtube's searches are just random.
