1. http://www.citysourced.com
2. The title of the site is "City Sourced."
3. This website is devoted to residents of a surrounding area to identify and discuss civic issues within their community. It can be downloaded as a free application so posts can be made on the go.
4. This site is unique because it allows and encourages everyday citizens to get involved with their community and have a public voice about the issues they feel are most important in their community.
5. I feel these types of websites are effective because they encourage people to voice their opinion and receive support from other community members.



1. http://lmb.org/
2. The title of the site is "League of Michigan Bicyclists."
3. This website is devoted to key legislators and policymakers to aid in promoting bicycling and the safety of Michigan bicyclists on the road. The website aims to provide information and news regarding the safety of bicyclers, educate people on bicycler safety, announce upcoming events such as bicycling tours, and allow people to volunteer and donate to the LMB.
4. I think this website is unique because it allows and encourages people to donate and volunteer to the League of Michigan Bicyclists. The site also posts thumbnails of recent blogs to catch the interest of those who visit as a demonstration of the types of things the LMB does. There is also an event list so that participants are aware and can prepare for upcoming affairs.
5. I think that this website is effective because everything you need is visible from the homepage. The display of previous blogs allows visitors to browse and participate without having to search aimlessly for interesting topic issues. I also think that by providing education and encouraging participation, someone can gain a clear understanding of all the LMB has to offer.


1. http://migunowners.org
2. The site is titled "Michigan Gun Owners."
3. This site is non-profit and is devoted to anyone in Michigan that owns a gun. The site aims to provide knowledge of gun safety and ownership in order to help preserve the rights of citizens to own a firearm. The site provides forums, education, and the opportunity to become involved and donate to the MGO Community.
4. I think this site is unique because it encourages people from Michigan who are gun owners to take part in protecting their rights by using proper gun safety. There are forums that individuals can post to to express their thoughts regarding gun owner issues. The site also advertises upcoming events that locals can participate in to become better involved in the gun owner community.
5. I think this site is effective because it allows people to become involved and protect their rights as gun owners, especially because the topic can be sensitive to people who are anti-firearms. By allowing people to freely express their opinions, potential issues can be better avoided or solved.
