In terms of Content Management Systems, Content Strategy, and the SEO mantra "Content is King", content is the stuff we serve the users.
Content Formats
Plain Text
If you send a text message or an email, the content is plain text. This is the most compatible format and easy to display but lacks a lot of capability like basic text formatting.
Rich Text
Text formatting options like in Open Office, Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
For websites, this is delivered as HTML.
Media
Videos, images, files, and other embedded non-text content.
Streaming
Livestreams or internet radio has an ongoing broadcast.
Structured
A system that displays content that structured in a specific format to allow it to display in various styles, components, and layouts. Think AirBNB or Redfin when you load a property and see all kinds of information like photos, pricing, and availability.
