what is the difference between a web address and an email?

Answer 1

The term "web address" is generally associated with what's properlay called a URL It is the location of a specific page on the internet (i.e "answers.yahoo.com" is the site you are looking at right now if you copy that and put it in the URL bar at the top of your browser, then it will take you to the home page of this website.)

An email address is the address an email client will use to send an email to it's recipient, that's why each one has to be unique. The term before the "@" sign is what the user chooses. The term after it is the host. So if you see an email address [e-mail] "dangimawesome" is the users Yahoo name and the "yahoo.com" protion says where on the internet that said user is hosted by.

A web address is usually in the form of http://www.domainname.com, as in http://www.yahoo.com. For accessing a web page, using hypertext markup language (HTML). You use a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox to view web pages.

Email is a "private" message between two (or more) people that uses an address like [e-mail], i.e. [e-mail]. Email typically uses a protocol like POP (post office protocol) or SMTP (simple mail transport protocol) to exchange messages. Email uses an email reader like outlook express, outlook, Eudora or any of a number of other applications. You can also read email using HTML in a web based email application.
