Post #2-Laura

*USA Today is more compact, it has the basic News, Business, Sports, etc. links, but it is contained to a small space of multi-colored bars, where CNN and MSNBC are more spread out and slightly harder to read.
*CNN and ABC news emphasize the live videos that are available on their websites. Both have the option to view video at the top right hand corners of the screen, making this the first thing that you see.
*All of these sites have the advantage of breaking news. With the print versions you get the news at the begining of the day, and no news after that. For The New York Times and the Washington Post, they don't have the televised version as well, so the website allows them to break the news as it happens.

First of all I think all of the news sites should have posted the top stories of the day right up front to let people know what is going on in the world.
Second I would make sure there is the option to search for the news stories of our choice.
Lastly since the weather is something that effects us all, I think that it should be featured up front as well.
