Dwight, I like that you went way further than my very shallow reading of the Facebook page as voyeuristic. While there are a lot of people reminiscing and talking about memories and feelings they have with their […]

I didn’t realize that so much of why I likes the front page of the site was because of the lack of bulky text until you pointed it out. It gives just enough for you to know what’s going and where to direct […]

I agree with you in being disappointed in the Public Archive’s map feature. It seems a little clunky and I had a hard time properly navigating it at first, but I think it’s a good utilization of Google Maps for a […]

I definitely agree with you about the layout — it gets a little tedious if you are not simply perusing it and you want to find specific information. I know that some sites have both a “desktop” and a “mobile” […]

In reading your summary of the site, its content, and its temporal boundaries (the way that the discussion halts shortly after the event it is advertising occurred), I began wondering how this could be used […]

I always love when people bring out their personal opinions and research when discussing a topic — so many of us are already bringing that to the table and when we get to read yours along with our own and the […]

I was somehow waiting for the connection between the name and the point you brought up about it being the one site that serves to cover areas that Yelp! neglects to cover… if it is, indeed, the only one. Perhaps […]

I made sure not to read your review when I saw that we had picked the same website to review, but I’m glad we agree on the addition of audio content! I didn’t think about the URL, however — it’s true that it […]

I always love that — seeing these “reminders” of our own specific cultures/identities in someone else’s display of their own. Especially when you can take the time to appreciate what makes you both distinct as […]
