In this second review assignment, I will be reviewing the content of boingboing, a blog dedicated to technology, culture and business.
PURPOSE:
- The purpose of this blog is to keep readers updated on recently news in technology, culture, and science among other areas. I will be mostly sticking to the technology section.
AUDIENCE:
- I feel the audience for this blog is early 20 somethings. Although college students can easily be thrown in that mix, there isn't a specific college section like there was on the Huffington Post. This is also known because of the content used on boingboing's blog. The language used seems to be aimed at a younger audience.
ORGANIZATION:
- The organization of this blog is a bit overwhelming and somewhat a challenge to navigate. Yes, it is easy to get to the technology section, but once your there, a lot is going on. Also, if users want to jump to a different section is a bit confusing as the headings continually change under the large red "boingboing" sign in the top left corner. For example, if one wants to jump from tech to culture, then games pops up. This is hard to explain but easy to see once your at the site. There are many different fonts and headings going on here. I am more drawn to the media than I am actual text.
STYLE:
- The writing style of this blog is informative and also somewhat humorous.
