Probably the most important part of online rhetoric is ethos. Because the internet makes it easy to post almost anything on the internet, and almost as easy to direct the reader to one's sources, consumers of online content expect to know where you got your information before they can trust it.
The texting website relies heavily on logos--their advice is mostly common sense, so there isn't much need to cite a source, but they could use more figures to define texting as a social issue worthy of notice.
The social networking website makes good use of its sources and hyperlinks, but could probably be formatted better. I had no desire to read all three essay-style paragraphs on each web page.

This is Orson Scott Card's political blog. He is extremely opinionated, and his arguments could almost be a case study in rhetorical fallacies. He fulminates constantly against what he considers to be a monolithic, insidious cabal of left-wing media outlets, politicians, and academic institutions. His site's formatting could use some work, but his writing is generally entertaining enough to keep you reading.
