Web-based appilications are technologically based forms of communication and sources of information that can be applied as a complementary component or programs such as facebook.

Web 2.0 refers to a new generation of web-based applications such as Ebay, Flickr & RSS.

Web 2.0 focuses on the facilitation of creativity, information sharing and collaboration.

Web-based applications that I am familiar with include Weblogs, Wikis, Chats, Podcasting, Web conferencing, RSS&Aggregation, Social Networking, e-Portfolios and Virtual Worlds.

Applications that I would like to explore further include Podcasting, e-portfolios and RSS.

 RSS is a group of web feed formats used to publish things such as blogs and websites that are frequentl updated. It is a summary of the text that is in a website so that people can keep up to date with information.

Aggregation in the combining of multiple RSS feeds such as in a program like NETVIBES.
