Notes

• Those articles are about new software updates to I pad and i phone 5.
• You Tube and G-mail came back to I pad and I phone 5 with new design and added feature. 
• We need to look at thoroughly what is different between new look and old look. Layout and web architecture might be changed, which means changed design and layout might be improved rather than before. So those articles are relevant. 
• Article #1 shows youtube's new looks on Ipad. Since article #1 provides many screen shot of application, we can look at detail. 
• Article #2 describes new features of google's application included with youtube.   
• Article #1 and #2 let viewers know youtube and google with new look about to launch.    
• Article #3 describes google version 2.0 of the app,which say that we will get a totally new look and feel, plus a bunch of improvements. 
• Through Article #1, #2, #3, we need to look at how it is designed and organized and categorized.

Title: How to make a webinar succeed?

Summary: Don't ruin your webinar by failing to prepare properly.The more time and thought you put into a pre-webinar plan, the higher your chances of success on the day of your webinar. First, start with your audience and choose the right time for your audience to run the live webinar. The best thing about strong content is that you can parlay it across multiple mediums and reach a greater audience.

Relevance: When I saw the word "webinar" first  it was unfamiliar for me. However, after seeing the meaning of the word and how to use it to audiences I think it might be used to educate our future customers who live too far away from me to meet me face to face. If I use this one day  I will prepare properly for audience in order not to fail to educate them.

Title: Facebook app now auto-uploads smartphone photos

Summary: Facebook is releasing photo sync for iOS to the general Facebook community. The new feature automatically uploads photos taken on a smartphone to a private album on a user's Facebook profile.If you don't like the idea of your photos automatically sent to your Facebook profile users don't have to activate the feature.

Relevance: I like to look at app design. Photo uploads is the part most young people are interested in.   They often take pictures by smart phone and upload them through social network. Besides, social network plays a role to connect other people with fast, ease. Students will become graphic designer one day included in me. I think we need to look at how it is going on at social network and their design   look. We need to think about attractive design according to people's taste.
