Week Five

This class was the first one since our test and we started learning some basics about the new material we are about to cover. I liked talking about websites that are useful, entertaining, and a mixture of the two. We got put into groups to come up with some examples of these and our group came up with clicker.com, wikipedia.org, and espn.com for the three respective categories. When we talked about these different types of websites as a class, I liked some of the examples we chose to explore some more. Chatroulette.com was a very interesting and entertaining website as was wildmoodswings.co.uk. We were discussing these websites in more detail than just for these reasons, though. We talked about the business aspects of all these websites and how they go about making money too. As discussed, coming up with a technology that is fun and easy to use while also being in existence for a purpose and being useful is the key to coming up with a successful venture that will make a profit. All in all, I enjoyed this class discussion. Now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping for a good grade on my test.
