David Chang, a resident and shop keeper of the Kensington Market wants to express anything new in his culture to the other residences of the market. He goes onto his computer and into the Kensington Market forum. He goes into the Kensington forum also the homepage, goes into the archive and posts any new cultural information and images he wants those of the market to know about. He is also able to view any other posts that other residences of the market posted up. The homepage also shows him the last information posted on the site. He is able to view the very current cultural events taking place.

Chang, then decides to check out the Timeline of the market. Here he is able to see the past of the market. He is curious to know what was here before his shop opened on Dundas St. He clicks on the 1815-1180 and information comes up including shop locations on the top map. He finds out that at the time his shop did not exist. He clicks the arrow on the right side of the map, taking him to the 1884-1900. Here he finds out that his shop was built in the 1900's, though it wasn't a shop it was a house complex inhabited by Jewish immigrants. He then clicks the arrow again and finds out that during the 1920's his shop was once a small grocery shop, selling fruits and meets for the locals of the market. He clicks the arrow again, again and then again into 1976-2002 and views how the shop became became his Asian restaurant and how the Dundas area became occupied by more of his culture, from a Jewish colony to becoming known as China Town, where more and more Asian shops opened up. This Asian cultural expansion happened greatly during the 1980's. Here Chang is able to see how the market grew and changed in culture.

Chang then decides to view images that other cultures have posted on the site. He goes into the photo library and views the photos that have been recently posted. He clicks on the various months to view previous postings. Finally, Chang decides to post his photo’s of his venue. He clicks the post photo’s link and posts his photos. He also adds information to them for other residence and public to view. This is so individuals would be aware of what is new that goes on in his area or venue. And he also hopes that in doing this he will receive plenty of more customers wanting to try out his restaurant and any new objects that he added to his menu. In this he believes he will gain more value in his restaurant.

Afterwards, Chang closes the site with a greater knowledge of the market and community, as well as, gain hope in his venue value through the use of his postings and information, since he does not have his own site he uses the forum. He then waits and watches as the customers come for food and curiosity regarding information on the market. And Chang, with his knowledge of the market is prepared to answer questions, serve his customers, and show them the site for anything else they would like to know about the market. The site is a map and key to the Kensington Market community, growing in diversity and culture for all the market residence and public to know about.

Ryan is a 4th year college student majoring in film. He is deeply interested in movies and making movies and while wondering down the street of Kensington Market one day he came up with this idea of hosting a Movie Night there. He asked around the market if anyone knew who he could speak to in order to get permission and how to go about setting up a event like this at Kensington. Many of the people he asked were not sure until he came about another college student that happened to be shopping there and she directed him to the Kensington Market website. Since Ryan did not have a computer at to use on the spot, he just took down the URL and stayed at the market for lunch.

It's now evening and Ryan has finally come back home from the market. He immediately turns on his computer and types in the URL for the market website but to his surprise it did not work! He tried the same URL the he wrote down early during the day again and it still would not work so he tried Google and searched Kensington Market. Luck would seem to be on his side as his first search result turned up to be the actual site and that is when he noticed he had written the URL wrong. Upon entering the site Ryan took some time to read the main page to find out what the website was all about and then he decided to click on "Community News".

When the page loaded he was amazed with the amount of events that are happening at Kensington but what really took him by surprise was that people that were hosting events are able to post up there regarding their event. This is exactly what Ryan was looking for in order to get his message out about his event, so he decided to quickly type up a description about the event and post it with his cell number, place and time of the event, just in case anyone wanted to contact him for more information. As soon as he uploaded his post to the site and saw that all was good, he realized that there was a better way to let people know about his event but a this hour and time at night there would be no one to ask about it. So he decided to check out the "Contact Us" section to see if there was a phone number to contact someone by but instead there was a email box that allowed people to write questions and send them out. Ryan started working away on writing up a email concerning about whether or not if the administrators of the site can do a mass email to everyone who registered with the site about his Movie Night event that will be happening soon. Once completed he hit send and knowing that he might not get a reply back right away he went to take a shower.

Twenty minutes later Ryan came back to check his emails and found that someone from Kensington Market replied to his email about his Movie Night and to his favor they agreed to do a mass email about his event. Ryan was very happy about this and as his Movie Night event was completed he continued to set the website to set up many other Movie Nights each month with a lot of people coming out for his event.
