Online discussion forums are places where registered users can discuss. They are asynchronous, as opposed to web-conferencing. This means that forum users don’t need be online at the same time: they can leave messages or write answers on the forum at any time.
The professional social network LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) provides discussion forums capacities.
