Anna Spivey--TheChive

Today, there are many websites that are looked at everyday for pure entertainment. TheChive is one of these websites. This website has developed a very large following or fan base over the past few years. The site includes categories of different pictures and videos, one being called 'Chive Everywhere' that solely displays different people who support the website. The site also sells specific shirts, stickers, and other items so you can show your love for theChive. For this paper, I plan to focus on how the functionalist perspective has helped this website develop such a large following. http://thechive.com/
