I'm defining media as a unique form of communication between humans, (so FTP is more of a file exchange than a communication medium). Some mediums blur the distinctions by merging or hosting other mediums.
Typology of Internet media:
- Website (includes publicly available websites, and private such as intranets & extranets )
- Mobile website (a website optimized for viewing on a handheld, mobile device)
- Internet telephony (i.e. Voice-over-Internet Protocol, such as Skype)
- Internet television (both television channels delivered by the Internet, such as the Bell Fibe service, or individual tv shows offered via the websites of channels)
- Instant messaging and chat (I might include Twitter here)
- Forums/message board (allows threaded text-based conversations)
- Streaming audio (includes podcasts & Internet radio)
- Streaming video (includes webcasts, podcasts, YouTube videos)
- Games (includes console-based and online-only)
- eBooks
- social networking site
- blog
- e-commerce site
- online gambling site
- news
- informational
- wiki
