Review 289

If only I knew the language Ollo.net

was written in, I might be able to give

it a much better review. My best

guess is that the language is Dutch,

but I may be wrong. Nevertheless,

the web site was able to convey it’s

purpose and allowed me to navigate

easily–something that many, many

web sites in English fail to do.



The site was primarily composed of

a variety of links, organized by a

variety of subjects. I looked through

some of the links and was pleased

to find them current, interesting, and

not broken.



It took a little guesswork, but I

eventually found the weblog area of

the page. It appeared to be a group

style log, with two authors making

daily contributions. Naturally, I had

no idea what they said.



The design of the site was sharp,

with a nice green color scheme. As I

said before, the site was easy to

navigate and made sense using

visual clues rather than words. A

definite plus for those who don’t

know the language.



Certainly Ollo.net is worth a look.

Perhaps a reviewer who knows the

language can do the site more

justice than I.

I’m not too fond of the of the gray font over the light bluish background. I find it a bit hard to read so I had to tilt my laptop screen to read the site a better. The author, Atika really likes anime since she has a pic of a character posted on her site, and talks

about it in some of her posts.



The impression I got after reading her site is she has a lot of energy. Seems like she’s been traveling a lot lately and spoke a bit about one trip she recently took to London where she went to stage school and talked about her singing teacher:



I’m in such a good mood now coz the signing teacher Kate Young who has taught Robbie Williams and Emma

Bunton (baby spice) to name only a couple, is interested in me!!! Wow! I probably sound all egotistical now but it’s actually true (I didn’t beleive [sic] it at first either) She say’s she’s going to help me get an agent!

Yes, I am deffinatly [sic] in a good mood ^_^



I wasn’t totally into her site because it was a bit too teenager for me. But if you like anime and a teen, then you’ll might like this site.

To classify this site as a news site just doesn’t give it enough credit. Most news sites post just stuff that is on cnn or on their daily news. This site goes above and beyond that. They post about wrestling, sports, news, videogames, everything that is news worthy.



When the page was loading, I caught the title before the page loaded and of course it had one of my favorite quotes from wrestling in it. And then, the logo had one of my favorite wrestlers. Ok the site is not just about wrestling, but it is a section which I could relate to the most.



The news is reported with an edge, and short. It is to the point and has a slight opinion on some things. Even though they state that it is expressed with an opinion, for the most part it isn’t. I would like to see some more in-depth opinions on the news, but that is ok.

The one word I would use to fully describe this blog is “wow!” I do not know of what happened to the old blog called “Frowning Monkey.” What I do know that the webmaster, whoever he is, had a great idea and carried it out.



After the events of 9/11/01, the blog became “What we saw,” a blog for people that were actually there when the WTC twin towers were hit. It doesn’t have an intriguing design, but what matters is what people wrote. Anyone can post, and everyone can post, but the author pleases people not to make it a debate, just a recall of memories.



This is great place for people to let out feelings without arguing with others about thoughts and ideas on the America on Attack story. If you were around when the towers fell, I suggest you post your story on the site. It is a great way to examine the tragedy in a different form.



It is quite hard to review this site, because no specific person posts. There is no need for content, although having pictures would make it more interesting. The design is all right for the purpose for the site, and easily navigable due to only one page and archives. The 4.0 rating goes to the idea for the blog, and for the amazing recounts on the tragedy.

Passion. The authors have passion. And angst. The authors have passion and angst. These two things, plus a punk rock attitude, plus a verbal writing style make this site a very refreshing read.



While some sites pussyfoot around all politically correct, the authors really nails their opinions right between the eyes. And they make no appologies about it either.



They rant about day to day happenings as well as current events. They review pizza joints and bars. They critique the sorry state of American society. You get the picture.



The occasional article picture and the webcam/portal area should satisfy the avid visual junkie. Lots and lots of personality here. Enjoy!
