LifeHacker Review



   Out of 10, we gave this blog a 3. We did not like this blog because we found it overall hard to navigate and its lack of organization within the posts makes it hard to find topics of your interest. We feel like the idea of this blog was great, however the execution took away from the quality of the idea. Maybe if they had taken more time to improve the ease-of-use of this blog, we would've found it more intriguing.
  The lack of a navigational bar is the first thing you notice when you open the blog. Followed by the lack of any apparent cohesion at all. Blog posts seem to be of various sizes and about random topics without relation other than the 'hacking' they explain. According to google's definition, the meaning of a blog is part that it is supposed to be written in an informal, conversational, style, but the complete overlook of organization in this blog makes it more inconvenient to use than it is helpful.
   We found the idea of the blog to be great, and have all found life-hacks to be useful in the past. However, we were very disappointed with the way this blog turned out. We were unable to find any posts that related to our interests, and therefore left the blog before learning any hacks. If the makers of this blog had paid more attention to organization and the way that the audience has to move about the blog, then this would be much more informative and overall better.
