The Full Circle of RSS
Marketing Power
RSS is a many-in-one marketing & publishing tool,
although unfortunately most marketers still fail to
understand this powerful concept. While RSS does provide a
number of benefits when used for each individual marketing
function, best results are achieved when it is fully
integrated in your internet marketing strategy.
Details of Getting a
Blog
Blogs, the abbreviation of Web Logs (online journals), are
becoming more and more popular all the time. People are
starting new blogs at an astounding rate so it's safe to
assume that there are constantly people out there who want
to know how to get a blog going.
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.
The RSS Promise for
Internet Users
The RSS promise for end-users is simple:--> a unified
one-stop-shop to consume online content, without having to
visit dozens of sites every day to see what's new and
without having their online subscriptions interfere with
their personal and business e-mail communications;-->
complete control over their content consumption, including
a quick, easy and reliable mechanism to unsubscribe from
content they do not wish to receive;--> the ability to
receive breaking news as it becomes available, without
having to wait for a monthly, weekly or daily recap sent to
their e-mail addresses;--> the certainty of actually
receiving the content they want, without the fear of it
being stopped by spam filters on the way;--> the ability
to receive rich-media content directly to their desktops,
including audio and video content;--> the promise of
providing the tools to make their lives easier, including
receiving critical content updates as soon as they become
available.These points are not simple enhancements, but
important advancements that can fundamentally change how
internet content is consumed.
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.
