(MEANING AND TYPES OF NETWORK GROUP)



MEANING OF NETWORK GROUP

Network groups are a means for groups of people with common interest to connect with each other via internet

TYPES OF NETWORK GROUPS

Common types of network groups are:

(a) Mailing List

(b) Newsgroups

(c) Chat Rooms

(i) Mailing List: A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list."

Types of Mailing List

There are two types of mailing lists, namely:

(i) Announcement List

Also known as one-way lists, announcement lists facilitate communication from authorized senders (usually one or a few editors) to the entire list. This is used primarily as one-way conduct of information and may only be "posted to" by selected people i.e administrator.

(ii) Discussion List: This is a place on the internet where people can write and receive messages in order to share ideas and information about a particular subject.

(b) Newsgroups: A newsgroup is a discussion about a particular subject consisting of notes written to a central internet site and redistributed through Usenet, a worldwide network of news discussion groups. 

(c)  Chatroom: This an online platform that enables users to communicate with each other in real time. Chat rooms are typically hosted on a server with an internet connection, enabling members from around the world to hold conversations. Examples of chatting apps are:

(i) WhatsApp
