P4 E1

Social networking sites enable users to connect with people from all over the world.  The sites allow easy presentation and translation of words, pictures, video links, htmls, and games.  I believe this is what draws people to the sites, they are easy to use.  In modern times, people want everything as soon as possible.  Facebook and Myspace provide their users with just that, speedy communication.  Fast communication fosters relationships with people who you wouldnt necessarily talk to if you had to call thim on the phone or write them a letter.  They also found success by centering each users homepage around the user. (likes, dislikes, profile pictures, favorite quote). People like to think they are in the center, and take pride in what they post on their page.

Fogg- P3 E2

So far, we are on the right track. We decided to go local and redesign Kingston Pizza's site. We are going to completely renovate it by creating a user friendly interface that avoids clutter by only presenting neccesary information. Our group has worked well together, especially out of class. By putting our heads together, we should be able to trim the existing site, doll it up, and make navigation to pertinent pages easy.

So far, the Google site desginer seems pretty easy. I feel like Yesnia, Codee and myself will really be able to utilize the different fonts, layouts and templates. The site we are thinking of could really use some help in the right direction. Starting with the layout of the menu. We should be able to make it easier to navigate and cut out a good chunk of clutter.
