1. How easy is it to find the information that you were looking for?
I browse the site as a news source so was not searching for anything.
2. Was the information that you received helpful and was it correct?
I trust CNET as a good source of trusted information.
3. What do you think of the videos podcasts, and other media sources that Cnet offers?
Love BOL, not got into any other podcasts yet, but tried a few.
4. When using the website was it easy to navigate and did it make sense?
Not bad as big sites go. Then again I mainly view information feed to me rather than browse the site.
5. Were there to many ads on a page and were they distracting from the content?
No, I seem to be able to ignore most of them quite well.
6. What do you think the main purpose of this website is?
To make money from adverts by feeding up information/news tech geeks would like and maintaining high quality trusted information.
7. Is this a website that you would continue to use in the future?
Use it almost daily.
Some of the questions are presumptuous of how the reader will use the site. For a good questionnaire you would either have to justify the questions with a statement like 'If you were searching for information on this site...'. Or maybe reword some of the questions to be more inclusive.
Good luck with your paper.
I am writing an English evaluation paper on Cnet and all of its glory. But I need the dedicated Buzz Town's help with it. I am to write interview questions then ask them to people who use the service. Who better to ask than the loyal buzz town listeners? You can answer all or however many answers you want. The only thing I ask is that you just put your first name in the post so I can cite you as a source if I end up using you in my paper. If you can think of any better questions to ask go ahead and jot down the question with your answer, and other people can answer the question that you came up with to. Well here are 7 questions that I came up with; I tried to leave them a bit broad so you can elaborate if you want.
