The Illini site screengrab caught my eye chiefly because of its serious divergance from what I think of when I think of how news sites look. I want to spend some time surfing it, but at first glance it looks very user-friendly.
The mason screengrab isn’t as eye-catching to me right off the bat, but after a few minutes at the site I must say I dig the feel. It’s more like a news blog. Awesome variety. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Ok, now I have to go spend a few minutes at dailyillini.com. Verdict: It feels more like a typical news site. Hmm — unlike most news sites, I feel like I can see when I get to the end. It’s more linear than mason, which let’s you choose your own course through the site. It’s strange that we lose the cool orange bubble thing after clicking on the “news” navigation button. Still, dailyillini is a great site. There’s variety of content, but that variety is slightly harder to find than on mason’s. Not knocking it, just saying.
All right, I’ll go to the Georgetown Voice next.
Verdict: Way to play to the audience with the Big East Preview. Not sure what your staff is size-wise, but the site could use more interactive/multimedia. Oh, we all want more staff, don’t we?
Vox Populi looks v.cool. And I think this is the first I’ve seen a college news site linking to webmail, blackboard, etc. (though I admit I should check out more college news sites) Bravo.
Before I go, gotta plug my alma mater: http://www.idsnews.com

Little plug: I think my paper, the Georgetown Voice, does some quality college blogging.
