RSS And The Billion Channel Internet
The real potential of RSS lies in Broadcasting.
In former times, jumping up on a soapbox or any platform in
the street to speak your mind was a popular pastime. Mainly
reserved for political radicals, the biblically inspired or the
Cuckoo's frequent flyer's club - the soapbox did fill a need.
The need to express oneself.
I have always thought of RSS/Blogs and blogging as more of a
'soapbox' than a 'journal' or a 'weblog' of daily events. A
modern day techno version of the soapbox with the transfer of
one's firmly held beliefs/opinions in a few kb's here and there
along the information highway.
The stronger the beliefs or opinions - the more popular the
blog. The more unique the content - the more entertaining the
blog is to read.
It also gives you a platform for entertaining off-beat ideas
and new ways of thinking. And it's a very democratic platform -
where anyone's input can be just as valid as another.
Forget the vote, the blog is a much more democratic tool.
And it's very young. It has a long way to go.
Nothing stays the same, everything changes, everything evolves
-- even our methods of thinking, our means of expressing
ourselves. RSS/Blogs is changing the way we communicate.
Imagine a Model T, a Fifties Cadillac, and a present day
Ferrari in your mind. Now imagine your vision or view of the
automobile if you only had the Model T to base it on? the
Cadillac?
Don't underestimate or even judge RSS by its present day form
- this soapbox is morphing as you read this!
Ever wonder what RSS/blogs will be like in fifty or a hundred
years? What about websites? What about the Internet? We're only
at the Model T stage - ever wonder what that Ferrari will look
like?
Lately, I can't get that idea out of my head! What blogs, the
web, all this will be like in fifty years, a hundred years, a
thousand years? Personally, the future of RSS is what interests
me the most.
I have some background in the art field, people in that field
are always looking ahead. Artists are trained to think 'in',
'outside', and 'ahead' of the box. Especially ahead of the box -
five shots ahead of the cue ball - at all times.
For an artist, it's a pure matter of survival. They have to be
ahead of crowd just to be mildly interesting. The real fortune
tellers leap ahead of the pack. Forging the way.
Blogs and RSS are forging the way for new ideas, new methods
of expression...it's our own little wired soapbox...just waiting
for you to step up. And that soapbox is expanding and evolving --
What will that 'soapbox' morph into?
Blogs/RSS will evolve and change. No doubt it will turn that
wired soapbox into your own personal interactive TV channel --
broadcasting your ideas, opinions, products onto a billion
channel internet...
Sound too far-fetched? Well, the radio version of this system
is just starting. Podcasting is just turning the corner - read
more about it in this
Forbes.com Article.
If we have radio, TV can't be far behind! And the key is
RSS.
RSS gives us our own publishing facility, but it's more akin
to broadcasting than publishing. It broadcasts our ideas, our
websites, our products...
Basically, I believe, RSS is paving the way for a billion
channel internet where each website will be it's own interactive
tv channel. As storage space, transmission, download times...
becomes irreverent or instantaneous --- how can it not
happen?
As we crave more visuals, more audio, and more instant
gratification from the internet and webpages; how can RSS not
deliver it?
The foundation, the infrastructure and the groundwork are
already present; connecting the dots will only be a matter of
time.
So keep your eye on the cursor and don't underestimate or even
judge RSS by its present day form; this soapbox is morphing as
you read this!
And grab that remote; thanks to RSS, surfing a billion TV
channels may just become your favorite pastime or nightmare in
the very near future.

To Blog or Not to Blog:
Are Blogs Becoming More Popular than Forums, Newsletters
and E-zines?
Blogging is hot, and seems to be becoming hotter each
month. Although blogging originally was dismissed, by many
successful publishers and other online "gurus", the truth

there are actually more blogs and more bloggers online than
ever before.
How to Use Blog
Exchanges
Traffic exchanges and blog traffic exchanges are a way to
expose your blog or site to traffic by visiting other blogs

Blog
Reflection
I still consider myself to be a blog writing novice but as
I've got a few entries under my belt I can tell you about
an unexpected bonus of this journaling process. A lot of
people think that blog writers are just people who are
tooting their own horns blabbering on self-righteously
about what they believe to be true in life.

confusing jargon or information overload? If so, take

Brief History of
Blogs
So where did all these blogs come from? How did they get
from an underground geek toy to a mainstream tool that has
revolutionized politics, journalism, marketing and the
media?I always find that when I learn about a new
technology or way of doing something online, the geeks have
already been there (and I say the word 'geek' with complete
affection - I'm one too!). Before business became
inseparable from the computer, email or the internet, the
academics and tinkerers were there first, kicking the tires
and playing with the technology.
RSS - Will It Really
Become Mainstream?
I am not one to have New Year's resolutions, but I do plan

RSS.
