What makes the internet go?
The Internet contains a multitude of furry websites and online communities. For example, IRC networks, FurNet and Anthrochat, are a key part of furry fandom. Newsgroups, popular in the mid-1990s to 2005, have been replaced by topic-specific forums, mailing lists and LiveJournal communities.
Live Journal:
LiveJournal (often abbreviated LJ) is a virtual community where Internet users can keep a blog, journal or diary. LiveJournal is also the name of the free and open source server software that was designed to run the LiveJournal virtual community. LiveJournal's differences from other blogging sites include its WELL-like features of a self-contained community and some social networking features similar to other social networking sites.
IRC:
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client.
Web Comics:
Webcomics, online comics, or Internet comics are comics published on a website, often exclusively, providing easy access to an audience, though some are published in books and newspapers but maintain a web archive.
Forums:
An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It is the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content. An Internet forum software package, another Internet forum software package, people participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic may form from the discussions.
Podcasting:
A podcast is a series of digital media files, usually digital, audio, or video, that is made available for download via web syndication. The syndication aspect of the delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other files that are accessed by simply downloading or by streaming: it means that special client software applications known as podcatchers can automatically identify and retrieve new files when they are made available, by accessing a centrally-maintained web feed that lists all files associated with a particular podcast. The files thus automatically downloaded are then stored locally on the user's computer or other device, for offline use. Below are just a few samples of podcating websites.
