1 ) What Labels you did not like and why, and Suggest Improvements.
My first problem is with the Site Stuff Label. It leads you to their Site News Page which has their policies and a contacts page in the drop down box. It would be better if they called this ‘Terms or Services’ to better inform the user that the page since there is no news posted on this page.
2 ) Whether there was any inconsistencies in the labeling system between the pages (in terms of style, presentation, syntax, granularity, comprehensiveness and audience).
One noticeable inconsistencies is the BlisteredThumbs label as once you go to it, its title is ‘Benzaie’ which is one of the people in the BlisteredThumbs group, and show you his content. This is sort of a problem as well in the Videos section as although it is labelled ‘Videos’ it only gives you a selection of content to go from, making you to have to use the drop down sum-menu to fully navigate through the website.
There is also a small problem at how the Title for Videos, BlisteredThumbs and Podcasts is displayed as they have a large dot point in front of it. This is just my opinion but it makes the webpage a little less clean.
3 ) Examine at least two other similar or competing web sites. How similar are the labeling systems? Is any one site clearly the winner (and if so, why)?
For the comparisons, I looked at two of the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (TGWTG) Partner websites, Team4Star and Cinemassacre. I choose the two as they have similar website layouts. Unlike TGWTG, both the Team4Star and Cinemassacre’s labelling aren’t as confusing as they direct you to the pages that holds the appropriate content that it shows you, though the downside to both of those two is that you have to make use of their drop down menus to navigate through the website. Team4Star oddly enough doesn’t have any Heading Labeling on each of the pages though Cinemassacre does.
