Mod 3 Tasks- Web 2.0

I did the following:
"Take a look at the Internet Communications Blinklist we have set up for you as a bookmark site - compared to a html version think about the format and usability of a website/html written list with this same information."

I have found that there was major difference between the two. The first one was intresting to look at and kept your attention to fully utlise the potential of the site. In the second one, i found it hard to read past the first line. I like the first way much better and i think that most people now-a-days would feel the same way. Even though it takes longer to search though the first one as each link takes up more space. a person who just wants a quick find, would just read the first line till one catches his attention. The second one, would appeal to most older people who just want the real facts and not all the 'dazzel' beforhand. But i still feel that the use of colour makes it easy on the eye, and the use of pictures, which gives so much infomation at a glance and saves so much time, makes the fist option a much better way to find information.
