SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

It is tagging a website and saving it for later.

Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are

saving them to the web. And, because your

bookmarks are online, you can easily share them

with friends.

HTML

HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the main

markup language for creating web pages and other

information that can be displayed in a web browser.

The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML

documents and compose them into visible or audible web

pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but

uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.

PODCAST

A podcast or netcast is a digital medium consisting

of an episodic series of audio, video, PDF, or ePub

files subscribed to and downloaded through web

syndication or streamed online to a computer or

mobile device. The word is a neologism and

portmanteau derived from "broadcast" and "pod"

from the success of the iPod, as audio podcasts are

often listened to on portable media players.

VOIP

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a

methodology and group of technologies for the

delivery of voice communications and multimedia

sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such

as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated

with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice

over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, IP

communications, and broadband phone service.

ONLINE CHAT

The term online chat is used to refer to any type of

communication that needs the internet to take place.

This type of communication usually offers real time

and direct transmission of text based messages.

WWW

World Wide Web

Collection of internet resources (such as FTP, telnet, Usenet),

hyperlinked text, audio, and video files, and remote sites that can

be accessed and searched by browsers based on standards such as

HTTP and TCP/IP. Also called the web, it was created in 1989 by

the UK physicist Tim Berners-Lee while working at the European

Particle Physics Laboratory (called CERN after its French initials

Conseil Europeen de Reserches Nucleaires) in Switzerland, as an

easier way to access information scattered across the internet.

STREAMING

Streaming or media streaming is a technique for

transferring data so that it can be processed as a

steady and continuous stream. Streaming

technologies are becoming increasingly important

with the growth of the Internet because most users

do not have fast enough access to download large

multimedia files quickly. With streaming, the client

browser or plug-in can start displaying the data

before the entire file has been transmitted.

BLOG

A blog (a truncation of the expression web log) is a discussion or informational

site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts")

typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears

first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally

of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author

blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors

and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets,

universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar institutions account for an

increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging"

systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

SOCIAL NETWORKING

Social networking is the grouping of individuals

into specific groups, like small rural communities or

a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although

social networking is possible in person, especially in

the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is

most popular online.

URL

Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator (URL) it

is the global address of documents and other

resources on the World Wide Web.

The first part of the URL is called a protocol

identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and

the second part is called a resource name and it

specifies the IP address or the domain name where

the resource is located. The protocol identifier and

the resource name are separated by a colon and two

forward slashes.

WEB FEED

A web feed (or news feed) is a data format used for

providing users with frequently updated content.

Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby

allowing users to subscribe to it. Making a collection

of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as

aggregation, which is performed by an aggregator. A

web feed is also sometimes referred to as a

syndicated feed.
