I'm sure that will be the majority of everyone in class. The two activities mostly used for me on the internet are my email and checking in on my village!
Ok. Almost missed this on Blackboard. Glad I doubled checked to make sure I did all that was required!
- Why are they effective? Yahoo is effective in that it is structured well for emails but in addition I like that I can catch up on news, weather and movies just to mention a few. Facebook is effective in that it allows me to stay in touch with family friends and some business affiliates but it also has been great for finding people that I may never have seen again in my lifetime. I finding friends that I haven't seen in over 30 years! I love that!
- What specific principles of good design do they include and why? Yahoo's overall structure is set up to be user friendly and easy on the eyes. The architecture is precise and flows down the page making it easy to see what is laid out. You can scan the whole page in a matter of seconds and not feel like you have missed anything. The nav bar is stationary and at the very top of the page for easy access. The home button is located to the upper left and you know that it's actually the home button. The other nice thing is that you can change some of the visual setting to your own preference. Facebook is easy scrolling and the links are set up for easy access. The search bar is fantastic and really simple to use. The site is sectioned off so that you can organize photos and information easily .
- What makes you come back again? Well, the obvious for both. I have integrated both site into my life so that I make them a part of what I need to do everyday to succeed at communication. Both are as important as my phone.
- What could be improved? With Yahoo, I would like the issue of spam to be improved on. And, with Facebook I'm not crazy about how they try and suck you into the games..not interested.
