Genre: Arts
Main Purpose of Site:
To help people find information about the library, but also to let teens express themselves and their opinions through writing, art, and reviews on popular (and not so popular) movies, books, music, and web sites.
(Thanks to Shayli who pretty much summed this up)
The Review:
This is my site! I love it because i am able to express my self in so many ways. For example, i can right about the latest book that I have read. I can also do that with poems, cds, and websites. I can fell connected to my library right in my own home! :)
Best Features of this Site:
The best feature of this site is that i have a book "wish list" that i can record all of the books that I want to read.
What could be improved?:
When you get to the home page, I think there should be a log-in button for people who have accounts on this site. That way its easier to get to your reading log.

Genre: Online Community
Main Purpose of Site:
The main purpose of this site is to get the online community together using pictures, comments, events, and more to let everyone meet one another and connect even outside of school, home, etc.
The Review:
Well, since December or November of 2008, facebook has definitely gone up and has improved like crazy. The site has new features that make finding friedns easier, and it has some awesome new features that make pictures, comments, and status updates easier to see. It creates playists and unlike myspace, it doesn't have backgrounds that make it so annoying to keep up with. there's no competition to see who has more friends, and it's definitely for a more mature group of people such as high school juniors and seniors and mostly college grads and undergrads too!
Best Features of this Site:
I definitely love how I can just go to the main page and find everything there; status updates of all my friends, pictures that they just put up, and friends that have decided to add me and a request made first! Plus, I like how they have facebook chat; you can chat with different people at one time and they don't see who you're chatting with. It's fun and cool because its just you and yoru friends!
What could be improved?:
Well, to be honest, there really isn't much to be improved. There are maintenance checks that are done periodically to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but other than that, I don't see a real big problem with facebook as of now; except the apps that you can add to your page that you don't want, yet people keep trying to send to you; its crazy!!!

Date Reviewed: 1/7/2009
Genre: Arts
Main Purpose of Site:
Tons of viral videos that are going around.
The Review:
Funny or die is very good for finding the videos that most people are talking about. It's easy to use and mostly funny. It's very entertaining, at least a 4 on a scale of 1-5. There are some videos that are a bit twisted. It's easy to avoid those though. The site is engaging, the web designer did a really good job. It's usability gets at least a 3. As the name would suggest, it's hilarious. It's a very liberal site, so if you're extremely conservative, it's not a good choice for you. This site is definitely for fun, so if you're looking for research on a school paper, this won't be helpful. As far as informational ratings go, it receives a 1. This site is probably for users ages 14 and up. This is a great video site.
Best Features of this Site:
It's really funny.
What could be improved?:
It could be a bit easier to use, the first time you use it is a bit confusing.
