The analysis of the football webpage

I am a big fan of football. As a football fans, keeping update the latest news about football is the things we always do. Today I will analyze a useful webpage for football fans.

Goal.com is the webpage that contains lots of latest news about football. It divides different columns to separate different leagues. If you want to find some latest news or transfer rumors we can find it easily. Also it provides the highlights of games if we miss it. Besides that, it provides league tables and fixtures of different leagues and we can know more about when the game start and which team has game on that time. And it is very useful for the football fans like me.

The most things I admire this webpage is that it divides different groups for the user. For example, FC Barcelona is the main rival towards Real Madrid C.F. The fans of each team always have arguments and dispute towards others. And this webpage provide different platform to different team and provide the news of the team they supported. And that decreases the dispute of fans between the rival teams. And it is case of participatory culture. The members of each group can feel there are some degrees of social connection with other because they are supporting the same team.

Besides that the webpage provides lots of hyperlinking and video to the users and increase the participation of the users. The users will become the participants and they can decide what they want to know and see. Also there are the share buttons to the users and they can share the news to others in their social platform like Facebook and Twitter.

       Also the success of this webpage is an example of technological determinism. In the past times people did not easy to have opportunity to watch a live game. If they want to watch the highlights of the game, the only ways they can do is watching on TV news or the consecutive images of the goal on newspaper. And there are only the hot football news will mention on news or webpage. And because of the improvement of technology, it changes the way of the football fans to be in touch with the latest football news. They can watch the highlights video and know the latest news of football on the webpage. And It is also the example of aggressive remediation. Because of the technology of digital medium is improve a lot nowadays, it can try to refashion the older medium like the football magazine and football newspaper. It can provide more function and latest news than the older medium. And it is more useful than the older medium for the football fans.
