My new RSS Cases (case studies) blog has been live for about 2 months now, but it's officially live for about a week. The blog covers reviews of hardware and software related to content syndication, as well as case studies targeted at content marketers/ publishers and feed developers, as well studies of RSS Metrics (traffic analysis). As I've previously mentioned, the blog is a combination of my

Just a heads up. My new RSS multi-blog that combines RSS Developer (this blog), RSS Marketer, and Net Metrics is about to go live soon. Head on over to RSS Diary to watch for an announcement. (I'll post a link here, too, but if you are interested in RSS, you should go over there.)Please note that the more technical aspects (i.e, actual web programming) of the above three blogs will be handled

Hello everyone. I'm back from vacation. (Hey, I still worked 16-20 hours a day on my blogs and websites, so it wasn't really a vacation). I apologize for the batch posting of this message to all of my blogs, but I'm still madly reorganizing my blogs and this is the fastest way for me to communicate with readers... (The most current links to most of my blogs and website projects can always be

My brother and his business partner run an advertising agency that also does award-winning web design. I handle a lot of the technical aspects of their web site contracts. Recently, a client for whom we just site did a site redesign for asked about RSS and how it could help their business. They are a medium-sized recruiting agency that have clients from across North America. To give our

Last week, I came across two postings about RSS and Atom that I find quite interesting. RSS-Specifications has a post that says RSS won the syndication formats war over Atom because Microsoft has adopted RSS wholesale in the IE 7.0 browser and in their upcoming Longhorn operating system. But RSS Weblog says that Micrsoft wants to use another name for RSS, possibly "web feeds". This is possibly a

This is a very short posting. If you are not already aware of it, Jonathan Avidan has recently announced the RSS 3.0 Lite specification. John's spec picks up where Dave Winer's RSS 2.0 spec leaves off.Normally, I would mention something like this in my RSS Developer blog. However, I think RSS 3.0 will have very positive implications for RSS Feed publishers. For the more technical amongst you,

Rok Hrastnik of RSS Diary reports that his readers are asking for actual examples of how to create real RSS Feeds. It just so happens that Rok will be e-publishing several of my upcoming RSS books including the tentatively titled "How To Use RSS Feeds: Case Studies" (formerly referred to as RSS Marketing Cookbook). This book will present a number of data scenarios aimed at different types of

To paraphrase Ol Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, "Start spreadin' the news about RSS." Maybe you are an Internet marketer or publisher that already understands the basics of RSS and can see the use for RSS on your web site. But according to Internet market research, about 12% of online Americans are using RSS although only 9% of them really understand it. Let's assume for the moment that the rest of

By now you are probably wondering what kind of information you can publish via RSS Feed. The rule of thumb is that RSS content should be linear in structure, with each item in the feed essentially independent of other items. If there is any sort of hierarchy implied, then the information is not ideal for RSS. RSS feeds essentially contain "headlines" and a brief description per headline. Select a

While this blog is predominantly aimed at people who would like to publish digital content using RSS, there may be a few of you who do not know what it is. This posting is a brief intro to RSS.RSS originally stood for Really Simple Syndication, but is sometimes referred to as Rich Site Summary. Simply put, RSS is a means of defining a digital content feed that people can subscribe to or opt out

Greetings! Looking to learn more about RSS? This is one of two RSS blogs I'll be posting at least weekly. This one is geared towards using RSS for marketing purposes and coincides with a book tentatively titled "The RSS Marketing Cookbook" that I am currently working on. The other blog is RSS Developer and coincides with a book tentatively titled "The RSS Technical Cookbook", which is in
