This final website is quite different from the previous academic websites.
This website is like a blog. The article I found was written in March 2008 and so is quite an up-to-date account of the authors personal findings in digital immigration.
The layout page is structured with sub-headings for each section which addresses different forms of technology and the authors opinions on each of these forms.
The article is written in first person due to the formation of a blog, thus making it quite easy to read. This is helped by the colloquial language and use of conversational grammar techniques, creating friendly discussion.
The article is based on the authors feelings towards technology and himself, being a digital immigrant, thus showing a very different structure to the previous websites.
Under the authors article are comments made by other produsers, each user shares their own views and experiences of the digital immigration.
This website is useful in finding peoples conflicting opinions on the idea, however for information and theory based content this article is rather weak.

...but it does seem to practice what it preaches by the sound of it, as you have picked up on the informal langauge, freindliness which is more (one could argue) immigrant-like than native-like. This sounds a very intersting site - almost like a journey or narrative that the author(s)are documenting.
