Lightenment.com admits in its “About†page that it’s just an extension of other gadget review sites like Gizmodo or Engadget. The site is very new, so it obviously hasn’t been given the opportunity to take off like the author’s favorite gadget review sites, but there’s always room for that as time goes on.
The layout of the site is simple. The white background, black text, and blue hyperlinks as straightforward are appreciated in a site that’s keyed towards informing readers. Anything flashy or gaudy would just interfere with the site’s function, which is to “review the latest gadgetsâ€, as the image header says.
The reviews that the author writes are ones based on his own personal experience. It’s just one guy, buying things for his own personal needs, and explaining to those on the World Wide Web how he feels about them. It’s a very simple objective and one this author accomplishes quite well.
From the new versions of the iPod to a very nice digital TV, his reviews are all based on his own use. Reviews like this are the most honest ones around.
With only seven days of worth of reviews that have been posted, this site still has a lot of room to grow. A review-based site such as this one is nothing to new to the ‘net. In order for the site to achieve a higher rating from The Weblog Review, it would need something that distinguishes it from the other many gadget review sites that are out there.
