  2. Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service and, in some countries, to free-of-charge numbers, are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype

  3. Shared Calendars • Considered to be a “free time management web-application” • Stores calendar information online allowing it to be accessed from anywhere in the world. • Some calendars allow users to check appointments via text messages. • User must have a Google account to use the program. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Calendar, http://www.google.com/calendar

  4. A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogs

  5. White Papers • “A white paper is an authoritative report or guide that often addresses issues and how to solve them. White papers are used to educate readers and help people make decisions. They are often used in politics and business.” • Usually issued by the government to lay out a policy on a topic of current concern. • Usually signifies “clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper

  6. Podcast A podcast is a series of digital media files, either audio or video, that is released episodically and downloaded through web syndication. The mode of delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download or streamed webcasts: special client software applications known as podcatchers (like iTunes, Zune, Juice or Winamp) are used to automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released, by accessing a centrally-maintained web feed that lists all files currently associated with that particular series. New files can thus be downloaded automatically by the podcatcher and stored locally on the user's computer or other device for offline use, making it simpler for a user to access episodic content. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasts

  7. Webcast A webcast is a media file distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology. A webcast may either be distributed live or on demand. Essentially, webcasting is “broadcasting” over the Internet. The generally accepted use of the term webcast is the "transmission of linear audio or video content over the Internet". A webcast uses streaming media technology to take a single content source and distribute it to many simultaneous listeners/viewers. The largest "webcasters" include existing radio and TV stations who "simulcast" their output, as well as a multitude of Internet only "stations". The term webcasting is usually reserved for referring to non-interactive linear streams or events http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcasts

  8. Magic Jack is a USB device that holds software and hardware that is necessary for making telephone calls over the internet. For a low fee you are able to send and receive calls using Magic Jack and your PC. However the service is ad driven and the makers of Magic Jack do know what numbers you dial, so privacy becomes an issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Jack

  9. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter
