In this chapter I learn about the Mass Communication on the internet. A mail list is a list of names and e mails addresses for a group of people who share a common interest in a subject or topic. A moderated list is when a list moderator is responsible for discarding any message that are inappropriate for or irrelevant to the lists members and the immoderate list is when an individual does not moderate the list and posting are sent list members automatically. It also talks about the Usenet Newsgroups. The original Usenet News Service was devoted to transmitting computing news and facility discussions among employees of university computing departments on topics such as operating systems and programming languages. The topic categories on Usenet originally called newsgroups or forums. A distribution database is stored in multiple physical s, with portions of the database replicated in different s. The server that stores a newsgroup is called news server, the store and forward process is called obtaining a newsfeed, most of this newsfeed occur over the internet using the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP).The Newsreaders were programs designed for the sole purpose of communicating with news server computers. It also talks about the podcasting, a podcasting lets a user subscribe to an audio feed, usually stored in the MP3 file format, and then listen to it at the user's convenience on an MP· player.
