=Web 2.0=

//**There are different formats of Web 2.0. Let's take a look at understanding them better:**//


 * Blogging** - One user publishes personal thoughts, opinions or ideas for others to read. Others can comment, but not edit the original blog.


 * Wiki** - A collaborative effort with people that have access to the Wiki. Anyone can edit the Wiki.


 * Podcast** - Digital audio and video files that you can subscribe to via a RSS feed (see below). Without a subscription, the audio or video file is not a podcast, but rather just plain old audio and video files. RSS feeds allow the users to know when new content has been added. Can be downloaded to MP3 players


 * Social Networking Sites** - Groups of people linked to one another that can write information and greetings directly to others where everyone can see. Facebook and MySpace is an example.


 * Twitter** - A type of social networking/blogging/email combination. Basically a "status updater." Users write a small snippet of "what they are doing." Those with access can get that message through Twitter and cell phone.


 * RSS** (Rich Site Summary) - A format to update any changes in web content. You subscribe to the feed.


 * Tagging** - Codes embedded in the website that provides content descriptions to a search engine.
