Artifact 9

Using the internet to share information with people is something that has been going on since internet first started to become big in the 1990's.  It has always been easy to get online and search for a place where you would want to go to and it would usually have a website with the address and the hours that the company would run.  While it may have taken a few minutes back then to access this it was still a convenient tool to use because many people could stay in their homes and still be able to access whatever information they needed to know about a company so they could pick what time they would be able to go.  Now the interent has advanced even further from this and now it is easy to get interactive with many companies online.  For example this article talked about how this art museum had many ways for its visitiors to keep up with all the things that were currently going on in the musuem so that they would allows be ready when something new happened there and they could go as soon as they heard about it.  They gave an example of them showing how a teepee was being built so they would make many people want to come see the finished product.  I think this is good that people can now be interactive with a place that they love to go to so they always can tell what is new and exciting at that place and they will always know when the right time to go is.  A good thing that the head lady of this art musuem does is put good and very important information onto the websites that she has the company on, but she also makes sure that the information only goes to a certain extent so that people still need to come to the musuem to enjoy the art first hand.  This is a good way that people use new ways of marketing to their advantage.  In this era with so many people using the internet, that is probably the best way to market your store or showroom is by putting many things about it online so that many of the fans of that place can get an in depth look on what is going on there.  Not only is this used by this art musuem but it also is becoming commonplace with many sports teams.  For example the cardinals will put many promotions on their website and use propoganda to an extent so that people will want to come out to the stadium and watch the team play.  On the main website they try to only talk about the good features about what is going on with the team and they usually leave out the bad things that they do not think that the fans will want to hear and if they do hear it then they will maybe not want to come watch the team play.  They also have pretty much every player on twitter so that fans can always follow what type of comments that these players have about the game and the season.  This thing that the cardinals do is also a great way of sharing by the internet because it allows fans to see every little thing that is going on with their favorite sports team.
