Podcast

• A podcast is a digital media file that is shared
  over the web using syndication feeds, for
  playback on portable media players and personal
  computers.1 A podcast is a specific type of
  webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the
  content itself or the method by which it is
  syndicated the latter is also termed podcasting.
  The host or author of a podcast is often called a
  podcaster. The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of
  the name of Apple's portable music player, the
  iPod, and broadcast a pod refers to a container
  of some sort and the idea of broadcasting to a
  container or pod describes the process of
  podcasting. More about the name itself can be
  found in the history of podcasting article.

Blog

• A blog is a user-generated website where entries
  are made in journal style and displayed in a
  reverse chronological order.

• I like blogs because you are able to get other
  people from the internet to critique your work or
  agree on something that you have written.

Wiki

• A wiki (IPA 'w?.ki? or 'wi?.ki?1) is a
  website that allows visitors to add, remove, edit
  and change content, typically without the need
  for registration. It also allows for linking
  among any number of pages. This ease of
  interaction and operation makes a wiki an
  effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
  The term wiki can also refer to the collaborative
  software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates
  the operation of such a site, or to certain
  specific wiki sites, including the computer
  science site (the original wiki) WikiWikiWeb and
  online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia.
• It is great because wiki provides information
  about everything and you are able to easily
  access that information.

RSS

• RSS is a family of web feed formats used to
  publish frequently updated digital content, such
  as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
• http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)
• Easily access to getting digital feeds from the
  internet.

Streaming Video

• Streaming video 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
  telecommunications 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.
