Syndication - is the process of making a summary of a Web site's information available to other Web sites and applications (Information and Content Management, chapter 3, page 2).
Still confused as to what this means? Do you add a Web page to your favourites or bookmarks in your web browser? Do you get updates from Facebook of new messages? What about new emails in your email account inbox from something you've subscribed to? This is all the process of Syndication.
It's all about Web feed. A lot of Web sites contain information that can be updated and clients who are subscribed to that service might want to know when that information is ready to be received.

What is Web 2.0? - Item 1
A lot of people do not know what Web 2.0 is when it is thrown around today. I've personally asked many people in my spare time who use computers all the time for work purposes and all their answer was, "There's a newer version of the Web now?".
Web 2.0 is often referred to as a read/write Web or a database-backed Web because all information is sent to a database and received from it. Web 2.0 is a reference to many web applications online. These include:
It is these technologies that help us grab information from somebody else's contribution or giving some ourselves. (e.g. Facebook, basic chat rooms.)
- Blogs
- Wikis
- Sharing media
- Collaboration
What is the difference between a blog and a wiki?
A blog is short for "Web Log" (e.g. We"b log"). They function as online journals and are usually run by a single owner. This means most of the information is contributed by the owner themselves unless they give other user's permission. A collection of bloggers is called a blogosphere.
A wiki is a collection of searchable, linked web pages that users can create or edit as a community. (e.g. Wikipedia is a collection of Web pages created and edited by users from all over the globe.)
About Myself and this Blog
