RSS

I have been using RSS since the very beginning. Long before it was trendy or many applications supported it, I was relying on RSS for my blog updates. News sites at the time were not using RSS yet as they thought of it as a fad. They were so wrong.
Today we have the next big [...]

I think most people will agree that Bloglines has been dead for sometime now. What with Google Reader, amongst other web based solutions NOT being outsourced to China available to the web’s users, there is really very little reason to tolerate what Bloglines has allowed their service to become.
Based on what I am seeing here [...]

Hey Chris, it’s me again. I’ve been thinking about buying my own domain similarly to you (with my last name being the domain name and my primary Web site being first_name.last_name.com) and doing technology based Weblogs. However, I don’t really know PHP, ASP, and the like and am really only proficient in [...]

Greetings again,
My name’s Tinu. And I’m a blogaholic. It won’t be every day that I enter six new updates in a day but Blogger is making this so darn simple that I just can’t stop myself.
So, if you followed my recent tip about learning about Web Feeds, you’re probably almost ready to make your own [...]

I’d say that RSS could be the future, just so long as it is delivered so seamlessly that most folks could not tell the difference.

The new, long-awaited version of the RSSTop55 Premium is finally available. The RSSTop55 is a free public resource that lists the most interesting RSS search engines and blog directories available online. The list is targeted both at those who use this list to identify alternative RSS directory sources as well as and mostly for those [...]

Google Reader is very interesting. Partly cause you can send tidbits to your blog (Blogger) or email them out. Google also took over the newsgroups from Deja not so long ago. I still hope they will do more with these. Once upon a time the newsgroups and Usenet were a great resource, the best place [...]

Looking to give your project a bit of an edge? Are you working with RSS at all? If you can answer yes to any of the previous, then chances are the Custom Reader is right for you.

Though little discussed and attracting yet too little attention for its critical importance is the issue of how we can consume and digest news when we have so many news sources and content to tap into.
One way to go at that is to start aggregating and filtering out what is not relevant to you, by [...]

Even though some of this may seem beyond us, the way this article breaks down being able to syndicate classified ads on your Website does tend to put one at ease.

I have to admit that the title of this article really caught me off guard. While there is no question that RSS is a real enhancement to things, I just never thought much about it replacing Web services.

So why aren’t more people using all of those RSS feeds out there? Simple. There is a huge lack of understanding in addition to information overload. When you are subscribed to a feed, you often times find yourself feeling obligated to read it. For some folks, this can just be too much.

The issue of what is right and best to do when it comes to republish content or even just headlines coming from a public RSS feed is now spreading to the growing number of independent online publishers taking advantage of RSS powerful syndication and real-time news provision opportunities.
I have myself challenged publicly at least one [...]

Last night Google switched on what may be a feature marking an historical evolutionary point in the evolution of the most popular Internet search engine.
Within the Google Personalized Home Page facility, Google has in fact activated a full RSS aggregator, capable of bringing together on your private Google Home page any and all the feeds [...]

Adding fresh daily content to your Web site with RSS feeds is either incredibly easy, or frustratingly difficult, depending on your technical knowledge and how your Web site is set up.
The benefits of figuring it all out are two-fold:

Your visitors will return frequently if your content is updated frequently.
The search engines will return frequently if [...]

This handy little tutorial helps out those who are interested in creating their own RSS feeds.

While RSS software for the handhelds are a dime a dozen these days, that does not mean that you should not be willing to checkout new software options as they roll out.

Not completely sure how Google makes it into an RSS article being they still refuse to follow suit with the rest of the world and add it to their news. Oh sure, I have it for my Gmail account, but seriously, who cares! Anyway, as I read through this article I must confess that I [...]
