New forms of media publishing

Although the internet has been around for decades, it is still considered a new media, as much of its usage is still unexplored and many are still benefiting ever since it was open to the public.

But as mentioned in the previous post the amount of internet users are raising at a tremendous rate that they double their amount in such a rapid rate that blogs alone have reached over 57 million in October 2006. Other means of media such a Vlogs has also boomed in the amount of users.

Not only that, these days people who have been "nobodies" in their lives are able to shine without means of getting on to the television, they now can use Vlogs such as Youtube where they are able to post outrageous things which they have done in hopes of gaining popularity and acceptance by reader and/or viewers.

With a few success by those who have been passionate at posting on their sites, there was always the saying "Who knows you might be the next star one day (on Youtube)?"

Most importantly, new media has allowed users and producers to communicate with each other more directly compared to other medias. This is because the audience are playing an active role in selecting things they like and dislike. With such a list, producers are able to anticipate the move in trends and be one step ahead in providing the users with what they need.
