Full text RSS feeds can be used for nefarious reasons by spammers?

Are you putting ALL of your content into the RSS feed, or just the title and description tags?

Perhaps you should think about what may happen to your content, if you decide to place everything into the feed?

Zookoda : RSS to email service - a case of the old meets the new, makes the newest?

Posted by admin 15:29 | Permalink | comments (4) | Trackbacks (0) | Send us a story | RSS/Atom/Feeds etc

Zookoda have today released the latest version of their service, after 8 months of beta-testing it.

It's a good way to further deploy RSS feeds, and shows continuing evidence that they can be utilised in methods which combine established mechanisms, with newer technologies.

RSS appreciation day is to be 1st May, annually. EVERY day is RSS appreciation day, in my book!

RSS appreciation day has gone by. Well, so far as the calendar is concerned.

We all know calendars are subjective things, apt to change by mighty emperors or religious figureheads, so let's not pay attention to the calendar...let's make RSS appreciation day, EVERY DAY.

Mapping your RSS feeds to suit your customers-make the feeds as diverse as your clientele.

What's the point in bunging ALL your content into one feed? Aside from trying to please all the people all the time [and you'll fail, spectacularly] it can often mean that people get turned right off by having to sift through tons of irrelevant items, to hear about the sector/items that they ARE interested in.

RSS advertising. Turns you on, or switches you off?

Posted by admin 12:34 | Permalink | comments (2) | Trackbacks (0) | Send us a story | RSS/Atom/Feeds etc

Will the recent movements to make adverts readily available in any RSS feed, mark the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?

For me, it marks the beginning of a period which will see marketing efforts reach hitherto unscaleable heights, and that my RSS rambling rogues, makes me wistful, indeed.

Adverts in RSS feeds? What doth the future hold, Nostradamus?

Posted by admin 19:24 | Permalink | comments (4) | Trackbacks (0) | Send us a story | RSS/Atom/Feeds etc

If I had a little Jack Russell, I'd call him or her, Nostradamus. If I had a big Jack Russell, I'd be carting it off to the circus and earning a fortune in the freak show.

What have average/over sized Jack Russells and Nostradamus got in common together?

Not much, except that the thought of both has sprung from reading a post about the future of adverts interspersed within feeds. I told you I was mad, and you wouldn't listen would you, oh no, you knew it all.

Is this such a surprise to you? People who read RSS feeds, do NOT provide them?
