Least Favorite/Favorite Websites

by Pamela Horton

 • The Gadsden Times Online: http://www.gadsdentimes.com/section/news The main problem with the Gadsden times online it does not follow a lot of the newspaper template normally used in the paper form. When wanting to access local jobs in the area it will take you to another website called Monster that requires registration (which is time consuming) rather than just seeing what is available right away.

 • The Anniston Star Online: http://www.annistonstar.com/ I enjoy the Anniston Star because anyone can posts events, stories, etc. a once overviewed by the star will be posted for all to see. Makes it easier than going into the office and having to fill out paperwork and speak to someone.

 • The USA Today Online: http://www.usatoday.com/life/index I like the USA Today online paper because the latest topics are listed front and center. Its easy to navigate or locate a story because it has an additional news topic buttons that will take you there easily. More pictures are on the front page as well that can make it easier to find the story your looking for. The websites is labeled according to pics, top news, popular news, area news, etc.

 • Jacksonville State University Website: http://www.jsu.edu/ I like the template used. Easily to find anything you’re looking for from phone numbers and emails to financial aid…..All events upcoming and news is on the front page. The box on the upper left hand corner allows incoming transfers or freshman easily make use of the website by giving additional buttons to push for information regarding expenses, academics needed, and campus life.

 • Video Chat OOVOO Website: http://www.oovoo.com/home.aspx This website can be irritating to a newcomer. It is not easy to navigate at all. It gives you four tabs to choose from to explain the tools that can be used. If you want to learn how to use it, well good luck, because with the 10 or more buttons for an explanation on how to use it can take someone a lifetime. I like video chat but is not easily understood on this website at all.
