Mailing list: Uses a list server to send subscribers messages from other list members
Usenet: One of the first large, distributed information databases in the world

Newsgroups:Are similar to mailing lists in that they accept messages from users and make them generally available to other users.

Do not use a list server to forward copies of submitted messages to subscribers.

Feeds 
Syndication: Right of others to distribute, making content available for use.
Aggregation:  Collection of items gathered together.

Feeds are similar to newsgroups in that they let you subscribe to content that you want to receive on your device. 

Feeds differ from newsgroups because of the way that content is delivered to subscribers: 
1. Newsgroup postings are delivered via email messages
2. Feeds are delivered through a program that includes a summary and a link to the published or actual content

the chat 
Public: occurs in a public area, sometimes called a chat room, in which people come and go 
by visiting a Web page that hosts the chat
