The initial intension of the project was to find pinpointed information quickly. This was later
revised and modified through the course of the project. It had to be a content source website.
A platform that will store information, potentially in several types of media( ariticles, documents,
videos, photos), and is meant to inform, engage and entertain users. A site that is focused on
providing news or frequently updated posts.
Initial concept and intention

Brief about the some successful blogging platforms
Research: Blogging platforms
It is, in simple terms, the
daddy of blogging. The
platform powers almost 19
percent of the Web and has
been downloaded more
than 45 million times.
Pros: Customization
Cons: Vast array of options
can be complicated for
less-experienced users.
Wordpress
Tumblr (the first mainstream
service to combine
blogging and social media),
has a strong community of
users.
Pros: Tumblr supports
custom domain names and
reblogging.
Cons: ads could make their
way to Tumblr blogs.
Tumblr
The user interface feels like
a doodle pad or to-do list,
making it a place where one
can easily jot down thoughts
and come up/develop ideas.
Excellent user interface
design.
Pros: Beautifully designed.
Cons: Open to a selective
number of users.
Svbtle

Blogger
Google’s take on blogging
is Blogger, an easy-to-
use and free platform that
requires only a Gmail/
Google account to get
started.
Pros: Easy to use and get
started.
Cons: Not particularly
sophisticated and tied to
Google.
It includes a feature letting
users edit and annotate
other people’s work, while
it obviously integrates well
with Twitter.
Pros: A great place to
showcase your content to a
(potentially) large audience.
Cons: Lack of
customization.
Medium
As a platform for
showcasing knowledge,
bloggers that are seeking to
tell stories or impart wisdom
about particular topics may
find Quora useful.
Pros: Strong community
that soaks up new and
interesting content.
Cons: Lacks personalization
and ‘homely’ feel of a
personal blog.

General types of users:
User reseach
Active versatile Internet users, who are active in
both information seeking, communication and
entertainment related use.
Practical work oriented Internet users, who are
mainly active information–oriented users.
Entertainment oriented active Internet users, whose main
interests include entertainment and communication related
uses, and seeking Internet solutions that cater to their
interests.
Practical information oriented small–scale Internet users
differ from the previous group in that while their activities
focus mainly on information use, they are less frequent in
their activities.
Entertainment and communication oriented small–scale
Internet users also use the Internet less frequently than their
active counterparts. Their use focuses on leisure–related
activities and they are passive when it comes to information–
related activities;
Small–scale Internet users use the technologies so infrequently
that they do not have any significant types of activities that
would describe them, and have very poorly developed online
