Facebook

This week we are to visit a Web site that is of interest to me and answer a few questions that pertain to the site. I would have to say that the Web site that I tend to use the most is Facebook. Yes, I am a Facebook junkie!!
www.facebook.com
What is the purpose of this site?
                The purpose if this site is to provide a place where people can get in contact with others, such as long lost family members or friends. There are also many games that one can play.
Who is the intended audience?
                The intended audience is anyone that may want to find a loved one or just anyone in general.
Do you believe the site reaches its audience?
                I do believe that the intended audience is targeted. Facebook has roughly 39 million active users so I would say that is a big YES!!
Was this site useful to you? Why or why not?
                This site is very useful to me. I have found many people that I lost contact with over the years. I am also able to stay in contact with family members that live in other states and countries. Not to mention I have met some new friends via this site.
List the colors that were used on the home page of this web site: background, backgrounds of page sections, text, logo, navigation buttons, and so on.
                When you first enter Facebook, which is the sign in page, there is a dark blue header and the rest is a light blue. There is also a graphic of a phone. Once you are signed in the background is white but there is still a dark blue header. Each individual has a wall that others can post to (comment to). There are links to find more friends, message friends, a place to put photos, and it is very easy to navigate through and very easy to read.
How did the use of color enhance the Web site?
                I like the colors. However, I think that there could be more than just the blue to enhace the site more. It is very simple the way it is.
