RSS Aggregator

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It refers to files easily read by
a computer called XML files that automatically update information.

This information is fetched by a user’s RSS feed reader that converts the
files and the latest updates from websites into an easy to read format. An RSS
feed takes the headlines, summaries, and update notices, and then links back
to articles on your favorite website’s page.

 RSS Feed Reader Chrome Extension by Feeder.co

a. Blogging

The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name, "weblog."
These weblogs allowed early internet users to "log" the details of their day in
diary-style entries. Blogs often allow readers to comment, so as they became
more common, communities sprung up around popular blogs (What is
blogging?,n.d.).

The content of blogs varies significantly. For example, travel blogs may
feature many pictures with few written passages, while political blogs may
weigh in with wordy takes on the news of the day. The popularity of YouTube
and similar sites also gave rise to video blogging, or "vlogging."

Examples:
 Tumblr
 Weebly
 Squarespace
 Wordpress
