Is Your Site Ready For The Coming RSS Revolution?
Recently, there have been many developments in the RSS arena.
Changes that will make RSS a major force on the web and a
dominant contributing factor to your computing experience. Online
marketers should pay special attention to the RSS wildcard in any
future marketing ventures.
If you're like the average surfer or computer user (you're
probably scratching your head) what the heck is RSS? Never heard
of it?
'RSS' stand for 'Really Simple Syndication' and its original
acronym stood for 'Rich Site Summary'. RSS is basically just a
simple code like xml or html. Truth be told, many surfers who use
the web every day probably never heard of html either.
However, there is one very important distinction you should
realize about RSS -- one fundamental difference that makes it
such a revolutionary element. It changes how information is
transmitted on the web, it sends out or syndicates a site's
contents. Don't come to us, we will deliver.
Surfers can view the contents of your site without actually
having to go to your site! RSS is usually associated with Blogs
and Blogging because Blogs use RSS Feeds to syndicate its
contents.
Why all the fuss? Why is RSS so revolutionary?
Basically, in a very simple and practical way, RSS changes
'HOW' information is exchanged on the web. It changes how content
is accessed, instead of the surfer visiting websites and getting
the information; with RSS a site's information is sent or
syndicated to all interested parties.
RSS has the potential to change every website on the net into
its own mini-broadcasting system. Sending out videos
(broadcatching) and audio feeds (podcasting) to those you have
subscribed to receive this information.
Websites can now go from being a 'static' force, just sitting
there waiting for visitors to come pay a visit; to a more
pro-active broadcasting force, sending out content, news and
information. The implications may be enormous and far
reaching.
Already, we see some major Internet and Computer Companies
gearing up for the coming RSS revolution! Perhaps, the most
significant and revolutionary is Microsoft's Longhorn
announcement that the next version of Windows will have RSS
integrated not only into its browser but also into their
operating system.
This will place RSS firmly into the heart of your computing
experience. It will change how you use the Internet and it will
change how you use your computer. If that wasn't enough,
Microsoft's new list extensions to the RSS standard will be under
the 'Creative Commons License'.
There is even a group offering $100 million in RSS venture
capital funding. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts -- RSS
Investors will offer funding in the developing technology of RSS.
What's a revolution without fuel!

Another Internet company you may have stumbled upon while
surfing, is also gearing up for RSS. Google is already using an
xml powered sitemaps system to help it index the whole Internet.
Webmasters, can use xml to keep their websites constantly updated
in Google.
A while back, Google also bought Blogger.com which is an
online blogging system (Personal web logs or journals where
people give their take on the state of the universe as they see
it!) that also takes advantage of syndicated feeds to distribute
its content.
Google is already going 'head-to-head' with Microsoft in the
'desktop battleground' with the release of Google Desktop 2.
Google is also finally accepting the RSS standard by placing it
in the Sidebar feature ... users can personalize this sidebar
with their own RSS and Atom Feeds. In the past, the Atom
syndication standard was favored and promoted by Google.
These are just two companies that are gearing up for RSS.
There are millions more who are starting to use RSS feeds to
broadcast their message, product or content. RSS is a marketer's
dream. The opportunities to advertise, promote and sell your
products with RSS are endless. More and more businesses are just
realizing the enormous potential of RSS. Real estate, insurance,
tourist industry...
So what about you? Do you run a website? Are you geared up for
RSS? Are you taking advantage of RSS?
If you haven't joined the RSS bandwagon, don't worry, this
revolution is very easy to join. Here's a few quick pointers.
First, set up a blog and RSS feed for your site. This can be
done within a few minutes with a no-cost system like Blogger.com
which is owned by Google. You can even host this blog on your own
site. Another system that offers more options is the free
'wordpress' blogging system. Find more out about it here:
www.wordpress.org
But blogs are just one area of RSS, make sure you have Google
Sitemaps set up on your site. If you need help with this
procedure click here:

There are other simple and easy ways to use RSS on your site.

Get your site ready, don't delay. The RSS revolution is
already started.
Microsoft and Google are just two companies that are taking
advantage of RSS. You should follow their lead and start gearing
up your site for RSS if you haven't already. The benefits are
enormous and the consequences of not having or using RSS could be
crippling to any online concern. With or without you, RSS will
change the web and the way we use our personal computers.
However, this is one revolution you definitely should consider
joining. The stakes are just too high and besides, what's a
revolution without you?
