Most endeavors develop a vocabulary all their own. Computers and the Internet are no different. Here are some terms you may encounter as you use the Web.
Embed: To use computer code to place something, such as a YouTube video or song, on a Web site or blog. When a video or song is embedded on a page, the user can watch the video or listen to the song without having to leave that page.
Web 2.0: The term refers to the new breed of Web sites and Web services that focus on social networking and user-generated content, such as Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Wikipedia and blogs. Web 2.0 also describes the shift to Internet-based applications, such as Google Docs, which is a free, Web-based word processing program.
