Bob Meetin asked:
>>what are your general feelings about the following:
>>facebook, etc.
Hi Bob,
In general, I would say my feelings are skewed a bit to the negative side. I have not been that big fan of any of them.
However, I _am_ beginning to become more of a youtube fan. Only quite recently have I found it to be a useful tool (rather than the time wasting diversion it's best known to be). Several times in the past month or two I have found it to be very helpful in working through difficult sections of sheet music for songs I wasn't that familiar with. I could look up a song I didn't happen to have on hand and listen to the section I was interested in. That was very helpful.
Today I looked up a few videos on kettlebells. I saw some in a shop yesterday but I wanted a little more info on how they are used before I spend money. Again, very quick and very helpful information. (Words I never would have guessed I would have associated with youtube!)
>>what other sites would be good for getting website feedback/review?
Well, to be honest, I'm not seeing *any* of those sites as being good for getting quality (actionable) website feedback and reviews. I would start with evolt, alistapart, webmonkey and the like for a technical review and then extend to paid primary research with actual users for more in-depth insight.
HTH,
RonL.
