Similar to my review of the nominees for the TTLB Best Ecosystem Flippery Fish category, this review addresses the Best Ecosystem Slimy Molluscs (and below) category. When I first started looking at the nominees, I found myself jotting down notes to remind myself which was which. It soon dawned on me that a good idea would be to create a blog entry of my notes. The benefits would be a ready reference to remind myself of their content and to provide an easy link to each site. The individual sites would see another link so I didn't think there would be any complaints.
Well, I was wrong. But, I guess it comes with the territory. My intention is to QUICKLY review the sites and put down some impressions. I'm not doing an in-depth critical evaluation. I don't have the luxury of infinite time.
What I look for primarily is readability, basically, how effectively does the site spit information into my brain. The faster, the better. Secondly, I try to generally pigeonhole the site's subject matter (i.e. political, cultural, technological, conversational, whatever) while pretty much ignoring the bells and whistles. Then I move to the next.
