2. HTML
• HTML is an abbreviation of the Hypertext Markup Language. The markup
tells the Internet browser how to display the text, pictures etc. presented
to the Internet users. Its mastering is the first step towards a successful
web page development. This page briefly describes the elementary HTML
document structure and the basic HTML tags and elements. From the
multitude of available HTML document templates we choose XHTML for
its optimal design to work in conjunction with XML-based user agents.
Further reading about the evolution of HTML, its relation to XHTML, XML
etc. provides, for example, Wikipedia.

4. E-mail
• Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email or email since ca. 1993,[2] is a method of exchanging digital messages from an
author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across
the Internet or other computer networks. Some early email systems
required that the author and the recipient both be online at the same
time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based
on a store-and-forwardmodel. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and
store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be
online simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to a mail
server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

5. WWW (World Wide Web)
• The World Wide Web (abbreviated
as WWW or W3,[3] commonly known as the web) is
a system of interlinked hypertextdocuments accessed via
the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web
pages that may contain text, images, videos, and
othermultimedia and navigate between them via hyperlinks.

6. VolP
• The VoIP User network was designed to operate within a community
environment and therefore differs substantially from most other VoIP
networks. The main highlighted difference being that users can
call PSTN phone numbers through VoIP User's PSTN gateway without
incurring any call charges. The way that VoIP User is funded is noteworthy:
Calls into VoIP User’s numbers generate a small amount of per minute
revenue (the “termination charge”),[1] and this money goes into a
community account or “pot”. Outbound calls from VoIP User then call
upon this pot and use the accrued call minutes. This means that if all users
are community-minded then there is a balance between incoming and
outgoing calls that keeps the pot at a constant level.

7. Online Chat
• Online chat may refer to any kind of communication over the Internet that
offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver.
Chat messages are generally short in order to enable other participants to
respond quickly. Thereby, a feeling similar to a spoken conversation is
created, which distinguishes chatting from other text-based online
communication forms such as Internet forums and email. Online chat may
address point-to-point communications as well
as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers and voice
and video chat, or may be a feature of a web conferencing service.

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.

9. Social Bookmarking
• A social bookmarking service is a centralized online service which enables
users to add, annotate, edit, and share bookmarks of web
documents.[1] Many online bookmark management services have
launched since 1996; Delicious, founded in 2003, popularized the terms
"social bookmarking" and "tagging". Tagging is a significant feature of
social bookmarking systems, enabling users to organize their bookmarks in
flexible ways and develop shared vocabularies known as folksonomies.

10. Blog
•
A blog (a truncation of the expression web log)[1] 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, meaningto maintain or add
content to a blog.

11. Streaming Media
• Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by
and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a
provider. Its verb form, "to stream", refers to the process of
delivering media in this manner; the term refers to the
delivery method of the medium rather than the medium
itself.

12. Social Networking
•
A social networking service is a platform to build social networks or social
relations among people who, for example, share
interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service
consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his social links, and a
variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and
provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant
messaging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social
network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means
an individual-centered service whereas online community services are groupcentered. Social networking sites allow users to share
ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, and interests with people in their network

13. URL (uniform resource locator)
• A uniform resource
locator, abbreviated URL (also known as web
address, particularly when used with HTTP), is
a specific character string that constitutes a
reference to a resource. In most web
browsers, the URL of a web page is displayed
on top inside an address bar.

14. Web Freed
• 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.
