Buy Dehydrated Water

In class, we had to answer some questions about certain websites. Our group's website was over http://www.buydehydratedwater.com/ . At first, I knew that this stuff wasnt very popular mainly because I've never heard of it. As I began to work through the work sheet and all the questions, I started to realize the biggest picture out of the whole problem. If you take the "hydrate" out of water, you get stuck with air. Go figure, considering the "online store" took you to Amazon.com to buy little packets of "dehydrated water" after you read some non-sense about their product. As you read along though, you start to pick up on that this website is a complete joke and humorous as well. Sure, some people may buy it just for spits and giggles, but just reading the information, I would hope nobody actually got fooled. Regardless, I'm sure the creators got the attention they wanted. To be almost exact, a little over 1,000 people visited this website last month. Towards the end of 2010, over 3,000 people visited this website. I, obviously wasn't the only person that has been interested in this website. (www.compete.com) The last piece of information I read about was their testimonials. That's where a handful of red flags came in, with good humor though. For instance, the guy looking for a good gift for his father. Seriously? It's all fun and games, which means I am definitely a fan of websites such as this one. I, personally, wont be a customer of this website, but ill be sure to follow this website and others very similier for years to come.

  1. Good start! You're at 191 words-- you need 250 per post, so add a bit more content. Maybe write about some other 'red flags' that alerted you that this site was a hoax.

    Also, revise these sentences:
    "As you read along though, you start to pick up on that this website is a complete joke and humorous as well." to "As you read along though, you start to realize that this website is a complete joke and humorous as well."

    "Regardless, I'm sure the creators got they're attention they wanted." to "Regardless, I'm sure the creators got the attention they wanted."
