Hi HackNMash team,
I was going though your project and it looks good with styles and fonts.

strengths :

Provided most of the information on your site.

problem in IE
change in timezone.
donot know where to go once we open the site.

ISASiteMashup Team - Iteration 2 Review from srikanth

Hi ISASiteMashup Team,

I was going through your site and looks good.

strenghts:
Gives information about various places,movie centers,hotels etc in ypsilanti.. for new students.
Mashing/Integrating many API's is a big challenge which you people did in agood manner and using them as per your needs.

weakness:
It shows only ypsilanti information though i enter other zipcode.
posting the news on a side panel will be a good idea (i guess)
traffic information is not dynamic.
I hope most of your work is for iteration-3.

WhereIsMyCaffeine Iteration 2 review by srikanth

Hi WhereIsMyCaffeine Team,
I was going through your WhereIsMyCaffeine project and it looks good.

strengths:
Good look with color espically with photo on leftside.
provided most of the information in the tabs like timings, address etc.
Option to add new locations.

weakness:
adding url for the shops will be great.
If click on any marker..the information maybe displayed on side panel instead of a shadow box.(i guess)

Other than this the project is great.

TeamExtreme Iteration 2 Review from srikanth

Hi TeamExtreme ,
Your project looks good ,I was impressed by controls and drop downs.

strengths:
Good looking and professional
Information provided about all the teams is nice.
Great work on gathering all the information about the teams.

weakness:
it will be nice ,the marker should popup only when i select the team.
The requested information should be displayed in the same page instead of a new window.

MyFavoritePlaces Iteration 2 Review by srikanth

Hi MyFavoritePlaces team,
I was going throught your URL
and looks good and I like the simplicity

strengths:
The project scope is clear and upto mark
local search and showing pizza centers

weakness
My Favorite Places table is static not dynamic
when i search for other places ,the marker is not locating the location on the map.
The requested information should be displayed in the same page instead of a new window.
Add button for adding another place should be great(I guess)

MCubed Iteration 2 Review from srikanth

Hi MCubed team,
