5 What is a weblog? A weblog is an online journal, updated regularly. As it is based on a content management system, it does not need a great deal of technical expertise to set up or maintain. As the data in the blog is held in a database, it can be re-formatted and linked to in a variety of ways. It can also be easily shared with other websites, which can be automatically informed about new data uploaded to it.

6 What is an intranet? An intranet is a locally available set of resources, accessible in the same way that a website would be, but only by the users of a specific network. It uses the same protocols as the world wide web (eg TCP/IP http etc) and is accessed with the same tools (eg a web browser). Information stored on it may be company information that would not normally be made public. Staff manuals and other documents that need to be regularly reviewed, can be updated regularly without wasting paper. Users may also be able to communicate with eachother by internal email or instant messaging.
