Critique on CBS Internet Output

1. CBS Atlanta (TV Show)

Posts on the website are updated very fast. I stayed on the page for about half an hour and three new posts came up.
Also, because the number of people who "like" it is pretty big——17,823 when I was there, there are a lot of people who commented on each post and "like" each post.

A lot of posts are single sentence with a link of the whole news and a thumbnail as well. It's pretty concise and attractive to web readers.

Because it's Facebook page, the settings are pretty the same to other Facebook pages——with different categories on the left side of the page, photos, videos, twitter, events...very neat.

Like a lot of other News stations' website, it has a horizontal tabs which include different categories. The first one usually is "Home", and then news, videos, photos, weather, under which are many sub-tabs that can take readers to more detailed category. I think it's very useful and convenient. That's why so many news websites use it.

This website consists of mainly three columns, mixed with photos, videos and links of headlines. At the bottom, the more detailed categories can bring people to different programs. Again, it's a very useful tool section.

One suggestion for the website, on the top right, it can have a sign-up section to ask readers to join CBS and follow it, so that the website can have more follow-up influence. Also, if it adds some slideshow instead of some still pictures, it would be better and more attractive.
