GLOSSARY
Aggregator – “A program used for watching feeds from news sites, blogs, and videoblogs or vlogs, also known as a News Aggregator. An aggregator generally aggregates a number of user-specified feeds into one easily readable webpage or client application.” (www.wikipedia.org, accessed on August 8, 2005)
Blog – “A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but occasionally spelled web log) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles (normally in reverse chronological order). Although most early weblogs were manually updated, tools to automate the maintenance of such sites made them accessible to a much larger population, and the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging".
Blogs range in scope from individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs, and corporations. They range in scale from the writings of one occasional author, to the collaboration of a large community of writers. Many weblogs enable visitors to leave public comments, which can lead to a community of readers centered around the blog; others are non-interactive. The totality of weblogs or blog-related websites is often called the blogosphere. When a large amount of activity, information and opinion erupts around a particular subject or controversy in the blogosphere, it is sometimes called a blogstorm or blog swarm.” (www.wikipedia.org, accessed on August 8, 2005)
Blogger – Free server-based software used to create your own blog.

Feeds – RSS feeds or Atom feeds used by aggregators.
Podcasting – Podcasting (also known as blogcasting) is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading audio onto portable players or personal computers. (www.wikipedia.org, accessed on August 8, 2005)
RSS – RSS is a method of describing news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) from an online publisher to Web users.
