The tool is very much effective. The scanner helps narrow down searches in order to receive a faster response. The website is extremely use-friendly, the first thing that catches a person's eye is the search bar and it states what to click on for the music, there are even suggestions! The pros are definitely the purpose behind the product, its a great idea and brings people back to music. The con might be its consistency to replay a couple of songs over and over. The website's purpose is to serve as a personal radio station and I would recommend this website to a friend.

Amazon is a website that allows individuals from all over to purchase a variety of items that may or may not be out of 'reach'. Due to distances, amazon enables people to purchase almost anything as they will ship it right out to you. They have provided people with a service by bringing the products right into their homes and personal spaces, something other competitors cannot do without bringing the customer to them.

Amazon is VERY effective because it cares of customers. They ensure delivery, provide promotions, and offer a variety of products for purchasing. While the website may seem intimating at first, if you know what you're looking for, its not a problem at all! The website's cons would probably be the unorganized, 'messy' look once the website is first entered, but soon the pros take over and offer people a look into what appeals to them. No longer does distance matter, amazon takes care of it. While I may not shop at Amazon a lot, I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Pinterest is a good way to express creativity and share with friends/strangers ideas or anything cool you may have seen. Although pinterest may seem a little silly or confusing at first, the website actually serves many good purposes. The website is open for viewing but in order to completely participate, one must be 'invited'. While getting invited may take a mere 24 hours, these 24 hours may deter ones interest in the website. Hence, this may be seen as a con. Also, new users may find themselves confused since pinterest is not user friendly and it takes some getting used to.

Ultimately, I think the website's main purpose is to help individuals share ideas and interests with one another, whether recipes, DIY crafts, or decorating. The various options helps this website remain successful and promote its popularity. Personally I use Pinterest, and although not very often, I would recommend it to a friend.

AOL- America On-Line, has been used by Americans for online and email purposes. While its popularity has decreased, many users were accustomed to AOL for more than email and contact purposes, but also AOL Music- entertainment.

Aol Music provided its users with in-depth and live sessions from artists and bands. These 'incentives' were appreciated by AOL members who in turn paid for the internet service. However, overtime, people's interests change and find themselves no longer giving the time and money for these types of entertainment. The actual website is effective to a degree, but its lack of purpose prevents it from being completely effective. The pros are the idea behind the product, but due to the time of technology, its popularity and fame have since declined and I would not recommend this to a friend.

Myspace was extremely popular a couple of years ago, however since then, its popularity has declined sharply. The rise of artists taking over myspace propelled users to turn to another social networking site. However, myspace did provide the music service to its users, when it had users.

Myspace's main purpose was to serve as a social networking site to its users, but also extended the opportunity for artists to promote music, and in the beginning users appreciated the ability to listen to music. Hence at the time, it served its purpose. Over time, however, the flood of artists and music completely overtook myspace and its main purpose shifted from social networking to artists getting their name heard. This change of purpose weakened the effectiveness of the website. The pros are the ability to easily sign up and keep in contact, but the cons weigh higher because they become an annoyance to users. People do not want to keep in contact with others if the price that comes along with it is being bothered by immature artists. While I have had a myspace, I would not recommend it to friend simply because it no longer serves the purpose it advertises for.
