The Verge is a highly acclaimed technology blog that converges opinionated technology articles with daily news that makes it fun and easy for every reader to explore. Formed from the creators of AOL, this blog is nothing short of opinionated geek.
This Blog really takes into play the audience who is most likely on the page for their daily dose of geek and nerd. At first glance, the audience is a little overwhelmed with the amount of information presented on the home page but is also instantly drawn in. The amount of colors excites the mind and makes the eyes wonder all around the page until an interesting article is found.
It surely does not take much time to find such an article with the creative and up to date articles that present themselves all around the page. The Verge does not merely stop at presenting techno info, they also push further to relate and involve the information with politics and daily news creating this new sort of perspective on relative news.
Although The Verge is a great sight for those who know what they are looking for, it does not present its information in a simple and organized fashion. Those audience members that have just stumbled upon the website from a simple Google search, will not know what to think of it at first glance because of the overwhelming amount of cluster. For someone who wants to find a quick opinion on an area of their interest, The Verge is perfect. But for those who are looking for something specific, this blog may not be the place to go.
The reader also had to keep in mind that the articles written on The Verge are mostly opinionated; which isn't very hard to see by their layout. The bright, vibrant colors make the site look very unprofessional and immature for the professional mind but for those with a creative mind it makes their senses tingle. Although the sight does have a few advertisements, they are laid on the side just for viewers to glance at which is very nice for presentation and design. As for overall appearance and ratings of demands from the audience, The Verge gets a solid three on Technotati's Top 100 blogs list. So go ahead, explore; nerds and geeks, you've found your paradise.
