Amplify is a website in which you can create a conversation about any topic that you like. This conversation can be created based on something that you see and want to hear other peoples opinion. You take what you saw and post it on the website and then write your feelings about it and hopefully spark a conversation with someone who is also looking at the same topic as you.
The affordances of a website such as this is first and foremost broadening your learning channel. Amplify allows you to search any topic that you choose and join in on conversations with people, which in turn will always open you up to new information. The second affordance that I can see with amplify is that it allows you to be the poster and commenter, which allows you to have as much or as little control over the topic as you want. You are able to comment and see others interests and you don't have to pay anything to sign up for the website.
A tool like this would be useful for anyone looking to learn something. A teacher can use this to search for topics that they would like to further their knowledge on in order to teach their students. A teenager can use this website to broaden their fashion repertoire of knowledge. A parent can use it to look at new things to get involved in or better yet, new ideas of discipline to do with their child.
Websites, such as Amplify, offer a lot of knowledge to people right at their fingertips.
