Akihabara News is a website that provide news and updates of the lastest gadgets and technological advancement to the general public. Being based in Tokyo, the heart of Japan the site not only have one of the most updated High Tech News globally it even has exclusive reports on major product launches/marketing promotion and it also does live updates from the technologically inclined district in Tokyo, Akihabara.

Personally I think it's a great and very informative site for IT-inclined people like me, I've been using this site for close to 2 years now. It has not failed me in bringing the lastest gadget rumor/news to my viewing pleasure, I have introduced this site to my friends so they too, can be constantly updated. I have gained plenty of general knowledge on technology that we cannot learn in school, how it comes into real life appliances, the other would be the video reviews of hands-on of the lastest yet-to-be gadget, they would get me so hyped up over seeing the product and it's functionality and even the thought of owning it and lastly the green pig mascot is so cute to look at as a heading banner. Therefore I can conclude it's a great website to learn and get updated, even to the general audience a surplus would be that it could be used with RSS feed.

The layout used on this site relatively user-friendly to general public ranging from IT-inclined people like me and to the general public because of the clear choices of words for titles. The green navigation bar is very usable because the title is stated clearly, it can bring you to different sections of the site that you may want to go and the navigation bar is constant in any context available in the site, making it easier to switch from the lastest News to Reviews and there's even changable languages make it more versatile to a whole wide spectrum of users. The search bar which is also available on the navigation bar further increase the user-friendliness, making people search for general information easier and quicker. In the context section it's split into 3 different sides, one being the Lastest News which make reading easy and instanteous once arriving on site, second being Lastest Review allowing easy glancing of it beside the News and thirdly is the advertisements.

Rating of this Website: 8/10
