Podcast

• A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of
  such files, that is distributed over the Internet
  using syndication feeds, for playback on portable
  media players and personal computers.

• In the beginning a podcast was audio-only, but
  not anymore. The rising popularity of video
  cellphones, cost-effective digital cameras and
  mini digital video cameras has given anyone with
  a home computer the necessary tools to put
  together video podcasts about any subject that
  comes to mind.

Blogs

• A blog is a user-generated website where entries
  are made in journal style and displayed in a
  reverse chronological order. Blogs provide
  commentary or news on a particular subject, such
  as food, politics, or local news some function
  as more personal online diaries. A typical blog
  combines text, images, and links to other blogs,
  web pages, and other media related to its topic.

Wikis

• Wikipedia is the ever-evolving work of
  hundreds-of-thousands of volunteer writers and
  editors who range from high school students to
  academic scholars. This leaves the online
  encyclopedia open to criticism and ridicule.

Streaming Video

• Streaming media is multimedia that is
  continuously received by, and normally displayed
  to, the end-user whilst it is being delivered by
  the provider. The name refers to the delivery
  method of the medium rather than to the medium
  itself. The distinction is usually applied to
  media that are distributed over telecommunication
  networks, as most other delivery systems are
  either inherently streaming (e.g. radio,
  television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g.
  books, video cassettes, audio CDs). The verb 'to
  stream' is also derived from this term, meaning
  to deliver media in this manner.
