Analyzing Consumer-Oriented Websites

Rotten Tomatoes vs. IMDb

As I was analyzing these two websites that compare and contrast different movies I found IMDb to be more helpful. On Rotten Tomatoes I found it to be confusing whether the tomato or green charm meant the rating was good, while on IMDb the rating for a movie is clearly shown by the number of stars it is given. I also found it very useful that on IMDb it would should you suggestions on other movies like it based on the one you were looking at. My changes to Rotten Tomatoes would be to make it clearer to the users whether a movie was rated good or bad. And even though I found IMDb to be more useful I would still change parts of its lay out in order to make it look less like a confusing blog and more user friendly.
