from print to web

Although books to movies are probably the most common and influential forms of remediation in our world right now - I think the web has given us more opportunities than ever to be able to 'remediate' just about anything you can think of. An example of this is how almost all contemporary magazines also have a website with a very similar look and layout as the magazine itself. For instance, Glamour. Glamour is a magazine that now has a website. They have similar looks and stories, but at the same time has many small changes. The magazine seems to have more wasted space ... because they are trying to fill up a good amount of pages - while the website is very compact because they don't need to 'fill up' any certain amount of the web. Because the magazine comes out once a month - the stories, styles, and information is more 'time' focused than the website which tends to have more generic things so that they can leave the website more stagnant. Although the website doesn't seem to be as 'glamorous' as the magazine itself - it does have an advantage of being more interactive with the readers because of its online format, rather than print in which someone reads without being able to be too involved or give a whole lot of feedback on what their thoughts are after reading the magazine.
