Types of Websites

Hi there! These past few days, I've encountered some links or websites and was told to identify them accordingly, because there are three kinds of websites.

The first one that I would like you to know about are the websites that give you informations about certain things. Here are 2 examples of websites that give informations to the people on the internet.


Here are 2 websites that will keep you interested in what's in and what's not:
http://www.engadget.com/ 
http://weblog.greenpeace.org/

       I think that these websites were made to inform people because it gives us the latest or maybe the coolest informations about what's happening around us or the whole world. But when I went to one of those websites, I was really shocked about Steve Jobs' death, it was all over the website, I can never imagine Apple without him, he's really smart. Without him, there wouldn't be any of these iPhones, iPods, iPads, Mac, etc. I've heard of him retiring, but never thought that it would end this way, it's too soon.

The next one I want to show you are the website that were made to entertain people.

I have 2 websites here that would sure entertain you when you're bored:

       These websites are made to entertain because they are about celebrities or show-business and movies, which are commonly found on media, specifically...the television and the internet. I would not be surprised about The Huffington Post's front page post about Steve Jobs' death, I believe that it is all over the internet, he contributed to a lot of things that would make life easier. The other website is about movies and all, even the latest and the vintage ones. It talks about the movies, its plot, where it came from, and lastly, about the casts the crews latest information.

Finally, these websites were made to persuade people, to convince them to do something that would benefit or would satisfy them.

Now, for this one, I don't have any website that would persuade people. For some odd reasons, I don't have any. Even though I need to put two here. It's either I get confused or just don't understand what persuade is...and I cant find anything that's unlike the others or under the given websites by my teacher so I'll just explain what these websites are for.

         Websites that are made to persuade people are made to convince people to do something satisfying...something that would benefit them. Like websites that would provide their needs, like online buying and in terms of television, home shopping networks. They are selling stuff that would make lives easier, products that helps in the kitchen, some examples are the the baby bullet and the magic bullet, they are used to make smoothies and purée. So they are promoting and testing it or in other words, they are demonstrating how the product is going to be used, in front of a wide audience in order to sell them afterwards.

  1. You had really good vocabulary, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the introduction of your blog! Lifehacker in my opinion is a good website that shows how a blog is used to persuade readers.
