What words come to mind when you taste a fortune cookie? Inoffensive? Mild? The fortune cookie has this quality about it that will keep it smack dab in the center of the public’s hierarchy of favorite foods. It’s fitting that this site is called Fortune Cookie because it’s your average, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter (no pun intended) blog.
Fortune Cookie is the daily diary of a young woman named Susan. To Susan’s and maybe 95% of the website owning population’s credit, she’s the same age as me and leads a more active and interesting life. Well, a life interesting enough to blog about anyway. As always with blogs like this, a look at a whole day’s worth of entries turns into an exercise in stream of consciousness. There are no boundaries to what Susan will write about and that does keep things interesting. The problem is that there’s not much written about anything. There are exceptions, but most entries remind me of Police Blotters: time, place, who, and what. Many entries are intended for Susan’s friends to read. Filling out the rest of the entries are photos.
The site isn’t hard to navigate. The main entries are in the center while the rest of the site’s content are on the right hand side of the page. Extra content like her likes/dislikes, movies/tv shows she’s seen, etc., provide a closer look into Susan’s personality.
Fortune Cookie is not a bad website at all. However, I think most people outside of Susan’s circle won’t enjoy the site without getting deeper involved in her previous entries. I give this site a 3.
