New Mediums

1. Snapfish


Content: Photographs, text, some html.

Message: I think the whole purpose of this website is a cheap and easy way to develop and share photos. I have not personally used this website, but my mom uses it religiously. This website allows you also email certain photos to people. Once pictures are uploaded you can view each picture and check which ones that you want to order. You can also create slideshows that you can send to people so they can view all your pics without having to search through them.


2. Itunes



Content: Music, Movies, TV shows,  Apps, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Social networking. 


Message: The message of Itunes I feel at first was to give people an easy way to organize their music and  occasionally purchase songs. Since developing it has evolved tremendously. It is no longer just a easy way to organize music. It is a way to buy music, and not just music but other forms of media. Togather with ipods and other mp3 players, Torrent sights and mediafire CDs are old technology. 

3. Google

Content: Text, HTML, Links, Pictures, Books, News.

Message: I feel Google is one of those websites that has completely changed the internet. People can easily go on Google search anything and instantly there can be billions of hits. You can search images on Google. For example to find the logo for Google I typed in "Google logo" into Google images and was able to find a picture of the logo. You can find new articles, exerts from books, you can even view a map of a certain city on Google.
