About Web Services
Web services can host a conventional website or provide group websites with wikis,
blogs, optional calendars, and optional mailing list archives. Other web services provide
web access to email.
All members of a group can easily view, search, and edit wiki content right from their
web browsers. By using included templates or creating their own, they can add, delete,
edit, and format content naturally—without knowing markup codes or special syntax.
With a few clicks, or by dragging and dropping, they can attach files and images,
publish to podcasts, assign keywords, and link to other wiki pages or other websites.
They can also review the wiki’s complete history of changes and revert any page to a
previous version. They can also view and contribute to shared calendars, blogs, and
mailing lists.
Blogs give nontechnical users a way to keep their colleagues up-to-date with projects,
the files they’re working on, and pictures or podcasts. Users publish their own blogs,
with drag-and-drop ease, using a selection of built-in professional templates.
With webmail, users can receive and send mail from a web browser anywhere on the
Internet. They can access all their email as if they were using Mac OS X Mail or another
mail application on their computers.
