for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a

 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.

7. PODCAST

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.

8. VOIP

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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
