UMD Community: Blogs, Twikis, Wikis

• UMD Blogs

  A blog (short for web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
  
  Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others 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. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

• UMD Twikis

  TWiki is a structured wiki, typically used to run a collaboration platform, knowledge or document management system, a knowledge base, or any other shared application. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser over the Internet or an intranet. TWiki allows users without programming skills to create wiki applications, and developers can extend its functionality with plugins.
