I have wanted to touch on this topic for a while, but I have been waiting for the appropriate time. I have always found it interesting how many are being consumed more by mobile applications these days opposed to actually viewing websites. Personally, I am a huge sports fan, so I avidly follow the NHL (National Hockey League), NBA (National Basketball Association), and the NFL (National Football League). Instead of actually going on each individual website, I utilize an application called “the Score” as it merges all 3 sports leagues and many others into this one domain. I am able to access all of the news updates, scores, and I also receive push notifications/alert of breaking news on the home screen of my smart phone.

It is not difficult to tell as to why one would choose an application over a website, as it is simply a matter of convenience now. I personally would never go back to using websites for this particular aspect of my life, and it is definitely something I have been phasing out. Websites simply lack the major element of push notifications in my opinion; without even having to open my phone I am offered scores and updates. Could I ask for anything better? Probably not…
