The second sight that we were asked to review was learnthenet (http://www.learnthenet.com/english/html/01birth.htm). This is a very informative site on the history of the internet. It actually gives you some researchable information and links to go visit to locate more information. What I like most about this particular page is that it is not bogged down by a lot of extraneous information. The webmaster gives you the main background and no advertisements or superduper links to everything that may remotely refer to his/her subject. They kept it simple, not to mention the fact that keeping it simple allows the page to also load faster.

      The last site we were asked to review was pbs.org http://www.pbs.org/obp/nerds2.0.1/ . This site I didn't like. I found that when I went there, it didn't come up. TO see if they moved the site, I did go further and further back until I got to the main page. I found that I liked their home page. They had it set up as a table, which contained links to just about everything. This made the sight a bit overcoming, but to alleviate that, they included a search engine for their site, which allowed me to cut through the red tape a bit. Upon looking for Nerds 2.0, I found a whole bunch of TV programs, but not what I believe our professor was really looking for. Lastly, they had a pop up window that allowed to user to narrow the site down to his local area. I think that's a truly unique feature.
