5.2.2.1 Formats of online communication

4. Forums

Forums are also called discussion boards, and they are usually conducted online. There are multiple users present, and each of the users interacts with each other by posting messages on the same trail of messages.

It is considered useful to have debates on multiple topics. It is yet another format that has been picked up by Facebook and introduced on its social media site.

The users can post a ‘status’ which acts as a starting point for interactions. The comments below the post are collected and stored below the same post, and it takes the look of a forum.
