Sports
and entertainment website reviews
CrownBet
The
sports and entertainment sector is indeed hot in the
Internet space.
Sports
and entertainment related websites rank as some
of the most popular websites globally.
The
only websites that come close to the popularity
of sports and entertainment, are news media websites,
which of course, also cover sports and entertainment
news.
So,
why this popularity of websites in this sector?
Folks
just can't get enough of their favorite sports
and entertainment fix via other forms of media,
such as TV, radio broadcasts and newspapers. The
internet provides the audience with the best of
all forms of media - visual, multimedia (video
and audio) and even interactive options, such
as voting, message boards, SMS tie-ins, and so
it goes on.
We're
all very familiar with many of the world's most
popular websites, and particularly in the sports
and entertainment realm:
CNN
The
Sydney Morning Herald
WWE
MTV
NineMSN
Entertainment
Tonight
Internet
Movie Database
Now,
let's examine some websites that are really starting
to make a big hit...

The
Coastal Channel

sports and entertainment sector.
Whist
many factors contribute to what makes a good,
or great website; the following points are an
excellent guide:
Usability
- ease of use for the visitor
Functionality
- what the website actually does
Aesthetics
- what the website looks like
Interactivity
- what levels of interactivity are possible between
the user and other parties
Speed
- the speed at which website pages load up
Clearly, the websites listed in this overview
rank strongly in most categories.
The
Internet business has reached a point now where
a website has to be something quite spectacular
to stand out from the bunch and the above websites
really exhibit these attributes.
I
for one will be keenly watching this space as
the race for supremacy continues in the sports
and entertainment field.
