Week Three

I reviewed two of the sites listed for Week 3:

http://www.gforceracecars.com/

and

http://www.toyota.com/



Both sites have similar issues with automatic transitions,  The problem with quick transitions is the way they can affect a person.  Some people can have seizures triggered from watching this; some folks can have vertigo activated. 

The "gforce" page is particularly bothersome but Toyota also has the same issues.  Depending on who they're trying to reach as their market, these sites need more work in my opinion.

Week 2

Social media sites have a big impact on tourism companies.

For instance UAL suffered prestige as well as a loss of customers and revenue when this blog went viral...  http://www.seoptimise.com/blog/2009/07/united-airlines-lose-millions-youtube.html


Other companies have fared much better. Travel + Leisure Magazine recently awarded top honors to these tourism firms for the social media presence.   http://www.travelandleisure.com/smittys-2013
