Week 2- Similar websites out there at the minute


In week two I decided to look on the web to try and see what websites there already was out there that were similar to my three ideas. Hopefully from this I was able to narrow my final choice down. 

Here is a similar website to my last idea which was to alert people of what great prizes there are actually out there to be won and also with my previous winning of one would hopefully give them a bit of hope that it is not a scam well the majority of them. FreebieO is a website that in general gives you what prizes that can be one but also what bargains there are out there in shopping, health care etc... If I was to do this idea I would just be focusing on one part which would be prizes that could be won on TV shows that you have to either ring in or text.


My next option was to create a website that showed just the northern games i.e. The 9 Ulster counties in every sport which they competed in. Here is a similar site but it tries to give you the whole of Ireland but doesn’t succeed in that way as trying to get an Ulster game that happened in each sport was very difficult and near impossible to find. If I was to do this option that is what I’d focus on, trying to get all the Ulster games on the web for anybody to watch. Only problem I see with this is trying to get all the videos as RTE could claim copyright against me trying to upload these videos if they were shown on their station.


Through searching the web about my final idea I could not find a website that shows all the festivals in Ireland nor could I find one that shows all the festivals in one county. So from this, and careful discussion with Paul we came to the verdict that this would be my chosen subject as it was realistic, there was no other one on the web at the minute. He also discussed that I only focus on my own county first but I feel that there is so many fairs that go on throughout Ireland that allot of people don’t even know about and might actually want to go and see these things.
