Thanks to my Latin teacher last semester, and now my roommate, I am a fan of Twitter. (www.twitter.com) This is a networking site for anyone who wants to share what they are currently "doing", while following there friend's status' simultaneously. I am new on this site and was surprised how easy it was for me to interact right away! I easily found my friends who have accounts, and within a few mouse clicks knew what they were up to and who they were friends with (including Yoda and Chewbacca...). haha
The presentation of the main page is very simple, with the text body and mini-feed in the middle on a white background and just one small column on the right in an offsetting color. Since this is a personal website, changing the color scheme is an option, which is very good for those users who want to spice up there individual page.
The website is very clean feeling, not busy at all, and organized by the two columns and then menu bars on the top and bottom. The top menu bar shows ways to view your profile, to search for other people you might want to "follow", and the necessary help and logout buttons. The bottom bar shows links to their news page and other pages about their company, including the Contact and About Us sections. The company attributes most of their success to the simplistic nature of the site, and so do I; creating a simple website that answers one of the most popular questions was pretty brilliant.
My SN is Dana_L1 if anyone in the class feels like joining/tweeting to me!
