MultiMedia - Communications via Multiple Methods
More traditional methods of content delivery are static text and pictures. Multimedia is media that utilizes different content forms including a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, maps, and interactive content forms.
On Webtools we are probably using the term "MultiMedia" a little more loosely to include not only multiple types of media, but also the multiple types of "channels" and/or "mashups" that media content and related information can be published and shared through, including:
- feeds
- podcasts
- subscriptions
- social bookmarking
- social video sharing websites
- social collaboration websites
- specialized search services, including maps
- non-traditional, cross-agency government service centers
- etc.
