soundcloud

Soundcloud is a well designed website with music from individual musicians and producers that allows them to distribute their content. Soundcloud is a  website that at first glance looks fun, at second glance you realize that there are more counterparts that make the website more social and one might say, like twitter. The website is good because the content that the artist publishes goes into your dashboard so you can view it. Another nice aspect of the site is that when you comment, you comment on a specific part of the song this allows the listeners be more specific when talking about a song. If I could change something it would be to give the artists more freedom on their pages, currently the only customizable part of a page is a small bio section. It would be nice to have tour dates. I would recommend people to this site if they are trying to find new and interesting music.

Last.fm

Last.fm is a social music site that tracks what songs a person plays on their computer, iPod, phone, and many more devices. Last.fm also connects people with similar interests in music no matter where they are in the world. The website’s home page design is very intuitive, there are no intrusive ads and things like your friends, local events, suggested music and free downloads are all grouped separately. The artist’s pages are also well organized, the navigation is a nice set list down the left of the page, and this is the same for all artists and users.  The color scheme of the website is changeable from red to black and both have a nice white background. I would get rid of some of the clutter on the users and artists pages and leave more room for music listening stats. I would recommend this site to my friends because it is easy to use and offers a unique experience.  

Reddit.com

One reason why Reddit.com is ranked in the top 100 of websites is because of their addictive content, the content is so addictive. The content on reddit is addictive because most of the content is added and voted on by the users, this way, if the users don't like the current content they can change it to their own liking and stay on the site. Furthermore the site's design is very simplistic and not distracting from the content. The light blue and white color screen is soothing on the eyes and allow users to spend a lot of time on the website. The social aspect also keeps users, because of the fact that users and comment and then vote on comments it keeps users engaged with the site and content. I would defiantly recommend people go there.

This horrible website has some great content for clothing and some unique ideas about itself. But the one thing that kills this website is the navigation, the navigation pane is just a default folder navigation panel. The clothing is unique and very fashionable while the website's design is flawed and unattractive. When registering to buy clothes a giant gray box pops up, no doubt driving a few customers. I would send people to this site
