The website I chose out of my personal array of sites I choose to follow that have to do with technology is one of the best of the bunch. This website is extremetech.com

I chose this website because at the moment I am very interested in the newest technologies. I like knowing what other people are capable of inventing, for instance, with regards to technology.

This particular website makes them more interesting and worthy to follow because they talk about everything and anything to do with the newest technology. More particularly they go above and beyond most technology sites by going in-depth with each technology they showcase on their website. For instance they look at the behind-the-scenes of these technologies, which is different than the normal technology sites out there. This site has users and experts writing their entries that according to them are “seeking to answer the unanswerable questions of technology”. And to do this they use very easy to engage with and understand language, which is again out of the ordinary for other technology sites. This makes is so that anyone in the public can read their site entries.

They use their blog style website to communicate effectively by including many different category links, so if a person is looking for something in particular they can easily access it on the front page. They also include on their front page “top searches” and “trending” links. This is very effective for the audience because they are able to see what other people are looking at and what the most popular technologies are of the moment.

I would include them in my own Personal Learning Network because they have a particular sense of humor and easily understandable entries on their site. The sense of humor and beginner vocabulary that they use on their site makes it very easy for me to read and follow along. This in turn allows me to become interested in what they are writing about.
