DARLENE TILLEY
Color and Interior Design are my passion. This picture was found on a interior design blog "Urban Prestige". The blog site for interior design is filled with ideas, products, and advertisements for designers. Although this site has some useful links and product ideas, the overall navigating within this site is not as user friendly or as professionally set up as a larger interior design site such as HGTV.com. This site does not require membership to post nor to navigate through out the links yet it is a little confusing using the various links which should be worded more accurately.

My Space.com summary/critique

This social web site is not the easiest site to navigate. Icons are used and require the user to click twice before activating. Membership to this site is not required to view most profiles, however to view pictures and videos, membership is required. Another feature of this site is a requirement to be invited by the profile owner. The majority of users are young people who use the site for social purposes.

The first profile was of a young woman named Broken. Her URL is http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?useaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=142806267. The site was upbeat with pictures of family and friends, music and movie favorites and lastly her quotes.

The next profile was of an older man who had a few pictures of himself. His URL is http://www.myspace.com/fox_clark. This site was not interesting to view when compared to Broken’s profile site due to the lack of information about this person.

The last profile was a teenage girl who had some interesting items such as pictures of friends, places she would like to visit and a few quotes. The URL was not accessible probably due to security and the profiler’s age.
