So, I hate the word Heroin. It's gross and it reminds me of needles a.k.a my greatest fear in life. That picture in the article made me FLIP OUT! *Breathe* After digressing from that horrible image and really thinking about it, the term does fit comfortably when it comes to the Web. Think about it...everyone you know is addicted to a minimum of at least 3 websites. Whether they are buyers, bloggers, info seekers, or networkers, they are addicted to some form of the Web. Personally, it absolutely throws me off balance when I can't get onto Facebook, MySpace, or my e-mail at least a few times a day. I am a people person, so "heroin content" for me would intail messages, comments, photographs, updates, and indirectly stalking people I am friends with. I can say that knowing with full confidence I am not the only one who does this.
Tying this in with my group project, I feel that some of my personal addictions might be able to be applied with the website for Invisble Children NU Chapter. Constantly updating stories of the children, adding pictures, and allowing people to comment on the content could keep them coming back for more. Also, I feel that if we offered people a chance to buy some of the merchandise (which is reasonably cheap), they would stay interested. By offering them constant updates and making them think the website is all about what they want to have or know, we can reel them in for the deal. (Pun Intended)
