The site I am going to write about is www.W3C.com. This site is very interesting to me because they set standards for HTML, and how the web is suppose to look. Without this group there would be many standards and it would be very difficult for developers to create web browsers to work with all of them. W3C was created by the created of the World Wide Web. The name of this man is Tim Berners-Lee.
I believe that the intended audience of this group is any organization, government, or individual that is interested about web standards, and how things are to be displayed. I think they reach most of the individuals that they are trying to reach. A lot of the big names that create web products are members of this. This helps them make sure they are building products that will make for a better web experience for there customers. As for me this site is not very useful to me. I do not build web products, and these standards as of today have no meaning for me.
I am surprised that this site has such high membership fee's. They host many events around the world, but most of them are sponsored by members that already paid $60k+ for there annual fee. I think this site would be a great place for anyone that would like to be on top of all the new web standards. If I were to build this site I would make it more user friendly to find information. I had to do google searches to find answers I had about this site. Everything came up in there site, but it was difficult for me to navigate to it.
