Visual Rhetoric from Websites- The two websites I used most often are Facebook and Twitter.  Like most college students, its my gateway to procrastinating all of the work I need to do, but do not want to do.  They are both a form of social networking websites.  You create a profile for both websites and can post anything you want.  Facebook uses statuses and likes while twitter uses tweets and re-tweets.  The audience was made for teenagers and young adults, but recently both older and younger users have been joining the two websites.  All of the users joined to be able to stay connected and communicate with those who are not very close to where they live.  The structures for the websites are very similar.  Both have the user create a profile and have a homepage where you can see everyone you are friends with or follow post.  However, for Facebook, there are many ads on the side tabs of the website which are quite annoying.  Although twitter occasionally sends out tweet ads, they are a minor problem compared to Facebook.  The only things that really stand out visually are things that other users post, not what the company does for the website itself.  Basically, we can choose how the websites appeal visually based on what we post.  Sorry this post is quite short, I had a very hard time trying to find websites and what to say about them.
