What is Social Networking?

BEPAA, Board for the Education of People of African Ancestry Lecture and Workshop Saturday, June 30, 2012
The interaction between a group of people who share a common interest Web 2.0 is a concept that takes the network as a platform for information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

Podcasting
17
Example: BlogTalk Radio
A podcast is a type of digital media consisting of an episodic series of
audio files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or
streamed online to a computer or mobile device. The word is a
neologism derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the success of the
iPod, as podcasts are often listened to on portable media players.
Example:

RBG4Lif Report | Blog Talk Radio Feed www.blogtalkradio.com/rbg4lif.rss
An RSS feed icon, commonly used to indicate the Web feed for a podcast A list of all the audio or video files currently associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software, known as a podcatcher, that can access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be automated so that new files are downloaded automatically. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simple and convenient access to episodic content. In this way it is contrasted to webcasting (Internet streaming).
