Today in class, we discussed the three tiers and their functions a little bit more in depth. I went back to my assignment from last Wednesday, and realized that I was confused about the differences between the first tier and the third tier. I realized that the third tier is not just about having websites in multiple languages, it deals with actually getting people involved directly from the website. Thus, some examples I had for other tiers could be applied to the third tier.
For exmaple, Barack Obama's website (http://www.barackobama.com) applies to the third tier because it acts as a direct way for visitors to get involved. If you click on the link, and look to the top right of the page, it allows people to actually volunteer and call congress directly from the website. It even provides the volunteers a script to read when talking to officials.
Although other political candidate websites relate to this example, I thought Obama's was the most obvious.
