Google News More Appealing than Huffington Post

Google News and Huffington Post are great News aggregators, since they both publish information from entertainment, sports, politics, and more. However, Google’s News provides information in an organized manner, this area is located on the upper left side of the web page. The topics are organized from the top of the screen to the bottom. Huffington’s post has a drop down menu that is not appealing when you visit the page. The page also has text that is going across it.

When I compare Google News with Huffington Post, Google seems to be more organized. The topics are on the left side of the screen and the top story is located on the main page.

 Huffington Post main story is on the front of the page, so if you accidentally click on one of the topics of the page, the main story will be covered with a drop down menu. This creates a distraction in the page and will cause users to leave the page.

Google News provides information on local issues, which I think it’s important to keep users coming to your page again. Having local news available it’s important because people need to be aware of what’s happening in their area.

 On the other hand, Huffington Post does not have local news available instead it has Regional and National News. Also, the page makes it difficult to click on the actual tap because if you don’t click on the right spot you automatically get a drop down from a different subject.

The drop down on Huffington Post are distracting, if the curser moves over a subject the main story is covered with new information. The drop down has a large font and once it is down there are two columns of information to choose from. Huffington’s Post “floods” the page with pictures to make the web page seem entertaining, but instead I believe it creates too busy and less professional.
Google avoids drop down, instead they create an arrow that allows you to click on it, and this arrow is optional. After clicking on the arrow there is a brief description of the topic.

Google News web page is more appealing and looks more professional. The way their page is organized enables their users to choose their main topic without confusion. The web page is well organized and does not have drop down menus, which can distract users from focusing on the main use of the mage. Huffington’s Post page is disorganized and is full of pictures that can distract users.

Rising Star on You Tube

Zoella successful popularity on You Tube is due to her comical videos. There is some beauty advice she gives on her videos, but the most popular videos are the ones in which she is with a partner, making jokes, and playing games. She partners up with someone else in her videos to make funny jokes and in other videos if someone answers the question incorrectly, the loser get’s his face smashed with wipe cream.

Her videos are popular because most girls don’t joke around with other people on camera. Most girls will give advice on how to do make up or on how to dress for a special occasion. She seems to be confident about her self and is not afraid to be embarrassed. She exposes her personal knowledge with her friends and teenagers love watching other people get the wrong answer.

The Internet has enabled her to be viewed by millions. She did not have to pay thousands of dollars to have a reality show or pay advertisement to be views. I believe that her popularity would have not been possible without You Tube. You Tube is an open door to everyone with an Internet connection to post anything they want. You Tube successful views is due to teenagers audience, teenagers are on their phone more often then adults, which brings You Tube views high. You Tube free uploading makes it possible for anyone to upload something without being charged a service fee.
