Blogs And RSS
You don’t have to wait for people to discover your blog, however. You can announce new blog entries to the whole world… or in this case, to the whole World Wide Web.You can do this through RSS, a file type that makes syndication very, very easy. All blogging services can transform your entries into RSS feeds, ready to be distributed to open channels.Real Simple Syndication (RSS) is slowly becoming the universal standard for message transmission over the Internet. RSS is an excellent option for the following reasons:
• Your messages will be delivered straight to the recipient’s desktop, eliminating the possibility of your messages being filtered out as spam.
• Your messages will be delivered in real time, meaning, your recipient will receive them as soon as you send them out.
• Your messages can be displayed on all the websites you maintain.
• RSS feeds can be generated from your blog entries.
• There are a lot of novel applications being developed for RSS.
You can even send audio messages, and the file size is amazingly kept to a minimum thanks to RSS 2.0 technology.To start delivering RSS feeds, all you need is an RSS feed generator.These are widely available for free all over the Internet. Your
recipients will need an RSS feed reader. If they don’t have one,they’ll be prompted to download a copy, also for free.
