Post #2

To understand the content fully, we need to get into deeper about the website. To be clarifying about the website depends on what details we will get and how well we know about it.
First of all, “who” considers the people who would visit the website. The who of the context can be the people who are interested in Rolex watches or to be knowledgeable about the world most famous watch brand. Since the price of Rolex is upper than other brands, buying a Rolex watch has become a signature of wealth. In addition, Rolex’s website has given us an official place to get to know about Rolex – the growth of Rolex, the design of Rolex, also the history of Rolex. Although Rolex is a expensive product for most of us, but the Rolex website visitor can be through all different levels and generations.
Secondly, the designer of Rolex website has done a great job by creating such a website. It has humanized Rolex into our lives considering with all other world events, as well as the nobility and luxury facts that has already adhered to the Rolex watches. Different icons on the top separate the website into different sections. Each part has a short video attaches with it; they represent the main point of each section. The “Timeline” has caught my attention most. This is a great connection between Rolex and the development of the world: a product and our lives. When you click on “Rolex affiliates”, there is a list of all the nations that has Rolex affiliate. You can click on any country in the list, it will show you the locations of those Rolex affiliate.
In addition, Rolex website introduces to you about Rolex, the quality, symbol, and history. In other hand, this is the only promotion that Rolex uses for advertising. It’s rarely to see any other kinds of advertisements besides supporting sports and other events in several fields. But most of us know about Rolex, the close relationship between Rolex and wealth.
All in all, you will find something you would never discovered about Rolex by visiting the website. Reviewing all the famous artists and sport players also is a great part on the site.


There is also other websites that have the same kind of website elements with Rolex, such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Lancome.

PS: respond for the question 1.
How does the medium of blogging & other forms of web-based writing differ from that of traditional print/paper-based writing?
Using blogging& web-based writing is a good way to publish your thoughts. It has substituted the limit of paper-based writing. Also it has been giving me a positive environment for writing practicing. I feel more freely about writing and more comfortable about writing. Using blogging is also good for environment protection. We wouldn’t have to print them out by using papers.
