I hope that I am posting in the right spot. I think that CNN.COM is strongly engaging. When I originally visited the cite, my first thought was, "That's a lot of clickable links." Everything is well organized, easy to navigate, and labeled accordingly. I would have to say that if I were really into keeping up with the news, CNN.COM would be my first stop.
Normally I would never think of going to Time.com for the latest news but I found the website more diverse than I had previously thought. I found it easy to navigate with a wide range of topics and an excellent photos page. The only negative comment I have is the site appeared to be politically biased but it may have been an irregularity on the day I viewed it. Overall, I think this group did a great job on their blog by using hyperlinks, tons of pictures and the ability to edit the earlier blank space at the bottom.
I found that the Time.com website had a wide variety of topics that were well labeled and easy to recognize. I liked how the site mixes world news with strong ties to the political race and the economys standing.
