These days, however, many sites are finally realizing that the internet affords them the ability to do different things - such as interact more with their audience, and offer much more dynamic content. Many sites are also realizing that they need to adjust if they're going to keep the interest of young people today who simply expect very different things from the web than standard news articles.
