Last task for mod 3-Blinklist or HTML

We were asked to visit Internet Communications Blinklist site that has been set up for the unit and a html version to see what the differences were between the 2 and what we liked or disliked about the formats.

The Blinklist site is easy to use, has all the relevant links plus additional key search words for finding further information. The site is visually pleasing, has screen shots of all the websites suggested and is easy to navigate.

A html version of the same information would still have good usability, be easy to navigate and have all the relevant links and information, but would be less attractive visually , because of the lack of images it would load much faster and display well on all platforms and systems though.

Personally, for study purposes I find the html version perfectly adequate, useability is good, links and descriptions are adequate and the screen shots on blinklist are not really that useful they just break up the monotony abit. I would be quite happy if this format was used also, both formats are functional- maybe a slight blending of the 2 would be good.
