Trying to get to unbiased reviews and ideas on RSS marketing is becoming more challenging these days. But the article below does offer some interesting resources for your consideration.

Yikes, not sure if this is such a good thing or rather something that could be seen as a RSS exploit. Eh, regardless I suspect that it will be used for good and bad. Too bad for the FeedBurner users I guess.

Oh just try and tell me that this does not rock! This little application unleashes the power of RSS in order to give you iTunes playlist access from any browser.

Creating an Apple Widget could be just a few clicks away of the recent rumors of a “Widget creator” prove to be true. Just think, being able to roll your own RSS aggregator that meets with your needs!

Prioritizing and sequencing. Not two of the most exciting words in the English language. Regardless, it appears that through a clever use of RSS technology, these two words are about to taking on a brand new meaning.

RSS to IM. You have to admit that under the right set of circumstances, the logic for using such a thing could prove very useful. But the real question is whether this is something that is flawless enough to attract the less tech savvy amongst us.

RSS from non-human sources? Sounds insane, but one cannot ignore a certain logic to the concept. It would certainly be great for the business tracking large numbers of packages and the like….

There’s money in those niche feeds. Lockergnome founder knew this back when he first asked me to come on board and I am willing to bet that he feels the same way today. The real trick is remaining on topic while making sure you are not oversimplifying your targeting methods.

In many ways, this makes sense. While I believe that RSS has yet to peak (regardless of what others believe), it helps the ‘ol pocketbook overall to target the user as a whole and not spend so much time concerning ourselves with what method is the most ‘hip’ for the time being.

Perhaps this is in fact the case, but I will go on record in stating that those statics are fluid and can be shattered as RSS becomes more seamless.

Of course it can be monetized! But there is still room for improvement. Just as I said to someone roughly 2 1/2 years ago, it needs to be integrated into something that we use each day without thinking about it. Today both Firefox and Internet Explorer (7) are working toward this in a mad hurry.

This is one snazzy RSS creation tool! OK, I am saying this based what I read. Still, it’s difficult to ignore the results of the awards and other positive comments surrounding Jitbit RSS Feed Creator.

Now this is just irritating. To me and more than likely to you as well, having audio autostart from within your favorite RSS feed is enough to drive a person nutzo!

The British Library’s electronic Table of Contents service known as Zetoc, RSS is now part of the delivery options made available.

This is certainly one way to stay hip to all of AOL Music’s latest. One thing that I did notice was that they encourage you to use the AOL “My AOL” based client. Guess that is one way to check out their feeds….

I used to use this app myself way back when. It does provide a great localized RSS creation solution for those who do not have a blog-like solution.

Today I located an interesting discussion on RSS Marketing Survey. Well, actually it is more of an essay, but you get the general idea I bet.

To me this strikes me as a book that truly addresses the world of RSS and Atom. Their differences and how they are the same.

Is RSS contributing to information overload? Some people seem to feel that it is and along with eliminating other things on life could be of help.
