Pros:

  • The website had y2k themed games
  • The personalization of the profile websites were nice
  • Avatars is a good idea for a y2k themed website
  • The 8-bit art on the website is a nice touch
  • The website showing when users were last online

    • Cons:

  • The websites could be longer
  • The currency on the website was confusing
  • Decorating the homepag is confusing. And there were uneccessary issues with picking a color for the theme of the profile page
  • The blog isn't the main focus of the website. The website is more focused on virtual clothing designs

    • How y2k Diary Will be Similar:

    The website will show when users were last online, there will be an option to limit certian posts for friends only or just for the user, hopefully there will be a good formatting system for things like adding YouTube videos, pictures, and Spotify songs as well.

    How y2k Diary Will be Different:

    The profile homepage set up will be easier to navigate, there will be no avatars, the blogs will include a feelings section, there will be no fashion competitions, there will be no special symbols, there will be no currency.
