  • NewScientist

6/9/13

Newscientist is a fun an interesting website, but you really need to take their articles with a grain of salt. They frequently exaggerate findings to generate website clicks. This isn't to say all of their journalism is bad, it's just that they make you feel like we're all on the verge of a massive scientific revolution, when in fact the pace of science is usually slow and meandering.

Still, it's a good read if you want to get your heart pounding and very excited about the future!

  • Resume Companion

6/9/13

This is a cool website. I wasn't convinced by the resume builder aspect of it at first, so I started looking through the the numerous resume writing tips that they give you. They also had a ton of resume examples, so I looked through those and found one related to my field, which is medical work. I realized my resume was pretty lacking and didn't look nearly as good as the one they had on the site.

So I tried out the resume builder and produced a ridiculously professional looking document. I tried out the trial and used their cover letter too. I don't know, people really seem to respond to resumes that simply look better, even if the content was somewhat similar (the builder helped me write really concise, but information packed sentences.)

Was totally worth it for me. Rated 5 because the site is full of good, free information, and the resume builder is all that it's cracked up to be.

  • flickr

6/9/13

Flickr is, simply put, an excellent website. The photos are incredibly easy to search, and the advanced search makes it very easy to select exactly what kind of photos you're looking for. The photos are mostly high quality as well. Giving you a terabyte of data is also incredibly generous. Would highly recommend using this site.

This website is atrocious. It's slow, the photographs are awful, and just generally is not easy to use. Flickr is far easier to search, and the photos are higher quality. Avoid this site. I'm giving it 2 stars at least because it's at least navigable.

  • Lucky Vitamin

I've recently begun working out a lot, so I ordered a lot of protein powder from the site, as it was recommended to me by a friend. I was happy with the service -- the product arrived punctually, and in good condition. I haven't used it up yet, but when I do, I'll most likely order off of this site again (unless I can find it for cheaper.)

  • TigerDirect

6/7/13

When I first encountered this website, I was pretty sure it was a scam. At that point, I hadn't heard of Site Jabber, which is too bad because I spent a lot of time doing extensive research on the web about TigerDirect. I was afraid it was a scam because the prices seemed outrageously cheap -- like they were trying to lure me into purchasing something and then never send it.

Well, as it turns out, TigerDirect is in fact a legitimate website, and I received my electronic cables for a pretty insanely cheap price. The website is really user friendly and well crafted. I've gotta give this one 5/5.

Hope this helps.
