User Friendly vs. Not User Friendly

There are a lot of websites out there that are hard to roam around on. I'm posting examples of two user friendly sites and two non-user friendly sites.

Here are two sites I found to be really user friendly and useful:

www.livejournal.com

LiveJournal is one of the easiest blogging sites to use on the web. You can do practically anything with ease on this website.

www.myspace.com

Although this is a clichè website to list, it is very user-friendly. It seems like a lot at first because of all the information you could possibly put on your profile, but if there are any issues or problems they are usually easily fixed. It's easy to navigate around on. HTML codes are also easy to find if you want to post pictures, surveys, songs, or background layouts.


Here are two that are not user friendly:

www.bridgeport.edu

The University of Bridgeport's website is an example of poor usability. It's hard to find things and even when you search for it whatever you are looking for, the results aren't sufficient. I have tried searching for things many times and it's really frustrating.

www.blogger.com

Although this is contradicting because I'm using it to post this assignment, it limits users on publishing posts and you need an image hosting website in order to just a put a picture up. It's ridiculous. Not the easiest blog to create an account on, build a friend's list, or publish posts.
