What an addictive site!



Truthfully, when I saw that the weblog for “Insanity at its finest” was a LiveJournal site, I really had my doubts. But at the very glance of the site, those doubts were quickly removed.



It’s a basic weblog layout with colors that compliment each other very well. You can’t ask for much more for a eye-pleasing weblog layout.



The posts are very frequent, and generally very entertaining. They give you insight to her day, and into the people (and animals, of course!) she interacts with. The author has a sense of humor that would suit anyone, and typically made me laugh outloud.



There are links at the top of the weblog to an actual website created by the author, and those are worth checking out also, if you’re looking to find out more about what makes the author of this weblog.



I liked Insanity At Its Finest, and as she writes on one of her main webpages, it’s definitely addicting!insanity at its finest

In Between Naps is a fitting name for this weblog, as the author writes a lot about her children and the development and happenings they are going through. Mildly interesting, but definitely a unique flavor among the usual multitudes of teenaged bloggers out there.



The meat and potatoes of In Between Naps are the fervent weblog posts relating to religion, the Catholic Church, politics, and social issues. The author seems to comb the internet in search of articles to link to and comment on. She often points out the similarities and ironies that each article poses. I found this to be a refreshing approach to maintaining a weblog, not because such a news site has never been done, but because the angle of approach the author takes is a little different.



The site was based on a Blog Spot template, and lacked any sort of personal or artistic flair. I followed a few of the links, such as the one leading to the author’s main site, but was led into confusion and broken images, for the most part.



Happy to review a rare site that was submitted to us under the 25+ age group, I felt that In Between Naps was a decent place to stop for a new persective on things. Certianly some good content to be found, but nothing visual to hold it all together.

What is EdgeCurve?

From Scott’s (the webmaster) fingers …



“Edge: A penetrating, incisive quality. Curve: A line that deviates from straightness. So EdgeCurve is has a penetrating, deviating quality… Ok, enough of that. The name ‘EdgeCurve’ was simply available. It doesn’t mean much.”



This web log indeed penetrated the thick layers that surround my otherwise insensitive ‘attention.’



This site surrounds a guy named Scott and basically follows his interests from day to day; like any good web log, this one too centers around it’s webmaster. And so it should. Scott is interesting and quite intelligent; I wouldn’t mind knowing the guy.



The design of EdgeCurve is excellently simple while being noticeably original. I personally loved the design.



Scott knows how to write. This is apparent even in the ‘about me’ section. I was kept extremely entertained and have officially added this one to my bookmarks for safe keeping until I can visit again.



Have fun with this one, I gave it a 5. 😉EdgeCurve.com

Tangmonkey. Just like in the 70s, you can’t go wrong with Tang. Although, this website leaves a much better taste in your mouth than the orangey-type flavored liquid you got with your afternoon snack when you were a kid.



I love this site. While it’s more of a e-zine than an actual weblog, it’s still a site I’d visit every day just to see if a new article had been posted somewhere.



There are several different authors to the plether of writing submissions throughout the different portions of the site. A massively generalized summary of them would have to include the words creative, witty, intelligent, and borderline insane – all of those meant in a good way, though.



Tangmonkey has a Top 10 list that David Letterman can’t hold a candle to. My favorite TM Top 10 List? Top 10 Vowels. Don’t believe me? Check this site out. You’ll be glad you did.tangmonkey.com

“Untitled” honor the name of the site. The three authors are somehow young, although their ages are not stated anywhere they said “we are kids”, and somehow lost on the purpose of the weblog. One of them actually said it: “There is no goal for this project, but to get hits” … hard to get hits without a goal. So they use words writing with no sense to attract people through the search engines.



They categorized themselves as “news commentary” and “movie reviews” but personal events of the daily life and school stuff are all over, and movie reviews constitute just very few post. There are, also, comments and links to articles with teens interests like Britney Spears, or women semi-dressed.

It is also said the site is “humorous satirical”, which in their minds mean cursing and insulting … a lot. The writing, although meant to be funny, is not. Is more teen bla bla bla trying to get attention.



Untitled has the comments facility but not lot of comments actually.



On other hands Kelvin records all kind of excuses when he doesn’t post, like “I haven’t been updating. My social demands of life have taken over my online ‘priorities’”, or, “My presence here has been next to none but I assure you I have good reason for my absence, I have been having a life”, or, “I know that none of you care, but I haven’t been posting lately” … too many excuses for the little absences, that usually don’t go over a day or two.

The other two members of the site post very little, but their post follow the general pattern of teen topics and bad mouthed language.



The site has a clean design. Easy to navigate, and that is it. Not very much to offer.



Not suited for very young audience, lots of bad words going on and statements like “idol: Adolf Hitler”. And the disclaimer states they are not responsibly for anything they said. Bad example.
