tions, and also social interfaces that facilitate
responses from users during human-to-computer
interaction and thus allow social interactions.
Video posted on the web may be linked to social
networking services such as Facebook where it
becomes available for over one billion of users,
more than a half of them using it on a mobile de-
vice. As a social networking and microblogging
(up to 140 characters) service, Tweeter handles
over 340 million tweets daily and over 1.6 bil-
lion search queries a day; this service also stores
the tweeter's location. Further services enable
the visitor to utilize 'Explore' option to explore
photos on Flickr by choosing a point in time; an-
other Flickr feature called 'Interesting' allows the
user choose most interesting content. The 'Tag'
feature allows giving one's photos and videos up
to 75 'tags' as keywords or category labels, which
help finding things having something in common.
The 'Bublication' option provides information
on topics, publication design, selections, prices,
and shipping.
A text posted on the web may be translated
into another language such as CSS, Java, Java
Script, or other languages. A computer program
allows a text to be organized by manipulating,
modifying, and editing the text. The elements
such as Java applets may be inserted depending
on whether the intended shape of the web page.
The web page content may be static - delivered
to the user exactly like stored, often as a HTML
document. The web page may become dynamic,
such as a web site generated by the web applica-
tion that can change due to interactions with the
user scripting and the server-side scripting, for
example in the bank-client exchange. It may be
shared and interactive - allowing it's visitors
to communicate with it and make changes in
the web page content, for example by playing
a game.
Each option requires using different language.
Computer programming or coding is a process
contents in a topic, an information graphics, or
a protocol for an input/output system used to
communicate with other devices can be called
an interface. Interface may also mean programs,
tools, or equipment that enable separate parts
or elements to interact in a coordinated way.
For example, it may be a video card securing a
supply of images to display, or a software appli-
cation such as a web browser that enables using
information resources on the web. Hardware
or software interface couples parts of a system
or provides access to its components, that is
to say, selected resources. Physicists from the
European Particle Physics Laboratory (CERN)
created in early 90s HTML as an authoring lan-
guage and distribution system. The Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML) defines a set of
rules, syntax of a document presentation by a
browser. HTML is based on a hypertext system
of links and is accessible on all computers and
hand-held devices.
Interactive Websites
On an interactive website, data posted on the web
may change their content, format, and even mean-
ing because of the actions taken at the social net-
working. Facts, data, and opinions are posted on the
web for further translation, discussion, additions
and corrections, links exchange, enhancement
with pictures, and emotional responses. Feedback
from others may modify the object posted and its
reception by viewers.
We may consider a website interactive when a
message on the page relates to other ones and to
relationships between them. It involves software
that accepts and responds to input from the user's
data and commands. It can be done using programs
such as word processors or spreadsheet applica-
