1. What do you like about the site?
I like the idea and that you appear to update daily.
2. What would you change about the site?
I would make the header image more attractive and eye catching.
3. What’s your favorite twisted news story?
I only read the ones that are currently on the home page but I really like the one about teachers attracting lightning. I always knew they were out to get us.
4. Do you like the idea of twisting up news stories?
Yes I think it could really catch on but it would be nice if you were a little more truthful to the original stories. Kind of like you are making fun of them while still getting the information out. Although this might go against your tag-line. “The Blog That Lies.”
5. How do you like the layout?
I like it a lot except for the header image. I find it to be kind of ugly and a turn away. I would hire a graphics designer on the DP forums to make something like: A vertical gradient from white at the top to a light gray. Then on the right side have some sort of cartoon person saying something form the news and the other guy says, “I heard on us mans world (A short sentence summary of your twisted version of the story goes here)”.
6. On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate the site?
I would give your site a 6 out of 10. It could be better but it could also be a lot worse. Plus you have a very nice Alexa rank and a lot of Stumble Upon reviews.
Also if I win the review my sit is review-crew.com. You can contact me from my site.
Thanks for the feedback
1. What do you like about the site?
I like the concept and that you do update regularly.
2. What would you change about the site?
The header needs to be tweaked (see answer to question 5 below). Also, the branding needs to clarified. You’ve got three different brands: Usmans World, A Blog that Lies, and Twisted News. There’s no singular identity, and I think that can hurt any marketing efforts, as well as create some confusion for your readers.
3. What’s your favorite twisted news story?
The one that mentioned me.
4. Do you like the idea of twisting up news stories?
Yes.
5. How do you like the layout?
Okay. I don’t think the header is bad, but it’s kind of sparse as far as the clippings go. It doesn’t really enhance the “Twisted News” idea at all. It’s on the right track, but didn’t get there.
6. On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate the site?
I’d say 6. You’ve got some good stories, but also a number of misses. Lots of potential though, and definitely room to grow.
Thanks Dan! I see you guys don’t like the header, I’ll see what I can do about it
