I chose Mashable because I have heard of the site before, although I have never been to it. The general format of the blog is clean and appealing. The heading displays several tabs with a large variety of topics for the reader to choose from. When I visited the website the first two things that caught my eye were articles discussing “MTA Tests Lasers, Thermal Cameras to Stop Subway Deaths,” and that “Gmail Will Never Ask You to 'Display Images Below' Again,” just looking at these two topics it is obvious that Mashable is not focused on just one thing.
Honestly, the blog gave me more of a news-website type of feeling. It has several authors covering a plethora (love that word) of topics. Personally, I prefer to utilize RSS feeds and readers like Feedly to stay informed, and because I didn’t see any topics that jumped out at me as interesting, I will not be visiting Mashable again anytime soon. That’s not to say that I don’t see its appeal.
