over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media

a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number

people are given a forum where they have the opportunity to meet others
in a familiar environment, to chat, participate in events, combine temporarily
to form sub-networks, create private networks or interact in public networks.
