2. Blogs A Web site that contains dated text entries in reverse chronological order (most recent first) about a particular topic. Blogs serve many purposes from online newsletters to personal journals to "ranting and raving." They can be written by one person or a group of contributors. Entries contain commentary and links to other Web sites, and images as well as a search facility may be included. Blogs may also contain video. http://dictionary.zdnet.com/definition/blog.html

3. Videos A generic term for a full-length movie or a short movie clip. It can refer to a computer file (WMV, AVI, MPEG, DivX, etc.). Movies can be created in digital camcorders and played on computers without ever being turned into the traditional analog NTSC TV/video format. http://dictionary.zdnet.com/definition/video.html

4. White Papers This term has historically been used to describe a report that states the social or political position of an organization. In recent years, however, the IT industry has adopted the term to describe articles that explain a certain technology or product. For example, a company may release a white paper to the public in order to educate consumers about one of their products. The terminology used may be somewhat technical, but the goal of a white paper is usually to describe the technology or product in terms most people can understand. That way nerds don't get to have all the fun each time a new technology is invented. http://www.techterms.com/definition/whitepaper
