RSS Information Overload |
01/23/2012

As wonderful as it is to be able to tap into all the information in the world, there are only so many hours in the day to spend consuming it all. Not to worry: With a little pruning, filtering and prioritizing, we can turn the deluge of data into a nice, manageable stream of content. Here is how:

2011 Reflections and Predictions for 2012 |
01/11/2012
|
|
|
No country suffered more than Japan in 2011. Japan was rocked by an 8.9 earthquake, then a tsunami that was created from the quake hit the small island. The tsunami caused significant damage to one of Japans power plants making it impossible to properly cool or shutdown the nuclear reactor. The inability to cool the nuclear plant resulted in a nuclear melt down, and the escape of radiation. When the trifecta hit, the Japanese people earned the world's respect, they managed the tragedy with stoicism and grace. The consequences of this horrible tragedy, and implications of the radiation leaks, into the sea and atmosphere are still unknown. Japan will bear the scars from 2011, for generations to come.

What is Hot in Technology for 2012 |

1. Mushroom Cloud
The virtual cloud is now a mushroom cloud. More and more applications and data is available virtually. Customers are no longer tied to their desktops, data is accessible in the cloud. As long as you have an Internet connection, you have access, regardless of your hardware.
2. Smart Mobility
Mobile phones have become smart devices, they are more than just phones and alarm clocks. By the end of 2012, it will be hard to find a phone that does not run games, support Internet connections and have built in web browser.
3. Multi-Function Devices
I suspect that devices will begin merging, there is no longer a need for so many gadgets. The functionality of the devices from smart phones, kindles, ipads and computers are redundant and there is likely to be device consolidation as the overlap in functionality increases.
4. Democracy on the Web
The social collective voice will gain power and be much more difficult to manipulate. Reviews and ratings will thrive, and be common place.
5. UGC - User Generated Content
The need and desire of webmasters to create and maintain a steady stream of unique content will be satisfied by user generated content. The web is no longer a flat medium. Interactive user generated content will rule the web in 2012.

No-one enjoys having to regularly refresh favourite websites to ensure nothing is missed. One solution is a technology called RSS, or Really Simple Syndication.
This allows websites to create a news feed to which visitors can subscribe; then, when new content appears on the site, some or all of it is sent automatically to the subscriber.

Why One Journalist Opted for RSS Over Twitter |
12/28/2011
|
|
|
For several months I’ve stopped using RSS feeds in lieu of inbound news through email newsletters, Twitter and scanning headlines of web sites directly.
However, I have recently gone back through my RSS feeds, unsubscribed to a few, and will discipline myself to regularly check the fees throughout the day.

The Importance of RSS |
12/12/2011
|
|
|
If you read Wikipedia, you will learn that RSS is a type of web aggregator that sends content in the form of a feed to whatever tool you use to read this content. RSS is a convenient tool for those of us who consume a lot of content from the web, but the question is, what benefit does it have for companies involved in content writing management? RSS can help a website develop backlinks, provide an easy access point to your content for clients, and help your content get indexed quickly by major search engines.

Employers Should Employ RSS |
12/07/2011

|
Saving time and money is an epic battle dating back to beginning of time, or at least back to the beginning of money. We now live in a digital age where everything moves at a faster pace than ever before. In order to keep up, we must acclimate. For every old, tried-and-true method, there comes a time when a newer, better version takes its place.
Job boards are used in recruitment, not so much as an avenue for candidates to apply, but more so with the intent of reaching out to as many people as possible. Spreading the word about your opening will generate interest from multiple sources, not just those reading your advertisement. It does not matter how they apply; it only matters that they apply. While job boards represent the tried-and-true method, a more innovative way to get the job reach you’re looking for may have arrived with RSS feeds.

What do your Subscribers Want? |
12/06/2011

|
While there is plenty of debate about what journalists should post and to retweet on social networking sites, there is not enough discussion about what’s not getting posted. Specifically, most of what is debated is about what news organizations want to share — not what followers actually want to see.
I am sure there are reams of data floating around corporate offices full of feedback from focus groups and online surveys about what readers want. Yet most news organization feeds are bastions of one-way discussion and self-promotion.

How to Get Ideas for RSS Feeds? |
11/29/2011
|
|
|
The best blogs and feeds are those that contain unique, fresh, compelling, content. So where do these prolific posters get their ideas? I talked to a handful of bloggers to determine where their inspiration originated for their content.
Not surprisingly, ideas for blog posts or RSS feed items originate or are influenced by other web content. The following are venues for finding your online muse:
1.Google News
Monitor Google News for keywords related to your industry. If you find a story you disagree with or wholeheartedly agree with write about it. Add your thoughts, and editorialize the content. This does not mean you should just repost Google news summaries. The value is not only in the news aggregation, but in the commentary that you provide. Tie news items to specific events, conditions, or the impact of specific news on the industry. Adding a view point or reference to a news article adds genuine value.

Facebook Stopping Push Technology |

Social Strategists Beware! Your workload is going to increase! From 22 November Facebook will no longer allow the automatic import of Blog and RSS feeds into Profiles.
A long-used strategy by social networkers has been to link their blog posts and websites via RSS directly to their Facebook profiles. This meant that every time they put up a blog-post, it would automatically push the information onto Facebook, creating a note.
This allowed for great interaction with fans, followers and friends — building the all-important relationship with potential clients and readers.
According to Facebook, this feature has been disabled for Pages already on 30 September.

Twitter Glorifies Promotion |

Twitter, the conversation-enabler? Actually, most news orgs use the service as a glorified RSS feed
As much as we tout Twitter for its conversational abilities — for its revolutionary capacity to create discursive, rather than simply distributive, relationships with news consumers — many major news organizations are still using the service as, pretty much, a vehicle for self-promotion. A new study, released today by Pew’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, studied 13 news organizations, large and relatively small, from print, TV, and radio…and found that “mainstream news organizations primarily use Twitter to move information and push content to readers. For these organizations, Twitter functions as an RSS feed or headline service for news consumers, with links ideally driving traffic to the organizations website

Google flipped virtual tables with its changes to Google Reader this week. Some of you like it, many of you hate it, and some people have even gone to the length of starting a petition demanding Google change it back. All of this got us wondering, now that Google Reader is different, will you keep using it? Or do you have another RSS newsreader that you either already prefer or plan to migrate to?

Social Media Authenticity |

It is common for battles to result in some casualties, whether they be physical or digital. In the digital world, thankfully, these casualties are more metaphoric than tragic, but the effects are quite dire in their own right. In this particular case, the injured party is social media authenticity in both business and in the building of personal brands.
Some cynics might ask, was social media ever really authentic? To answer that question, try to recall Twitters early days as one small example. There was true community.

All of us start the day with every intention of completing a variety of tasks, but unfortunately many of us become distracted as the day moves on. Or even worse, we are tasked with crisis management, and at the end of the day we find that we have made little progress in whittling down the days planned tasks. As well intentioned as you may be, it seems to become a routine, and one that far too many of us fall into.

Although social marketing is a top priority and critical for future success, marketers struggle with ROI measurement of social campaigns, as a result, constraining or threatening all important future funding.
- Surveys report that even though ROI measurement is vital to success, that:
- Some 75% of B2B social marketers currently not measuring the ROI of social initiatives
- Almost two-thirds of companies 61% indicating their organizations are poor 34% or very poor 27% at measuring return on investment from social media

If you think social media is primarily good for reconnecting with long-lost friends from high school or stalking celebrities to find out what they had for breakfast, think again.
Now more than ever, M.B.A. students and applicants live and breathe through social media, a new online survey reveals. And that level of social media use is a good thing, considering the growing demand in the business world for employees with honed social media skills.

Social Media Changing the Times |

Social networking is what some information technology academics consider to be a disruptive technology or having disruptive impact, rendering existing products, services and business models obsolete.
Although social media have not yet made any product, service or business model obsolete, the phenomenon is certainly challenging many norms, and its current and future impact is and will be profound on all aspects of life. In particular, social media are supplanting traditional media as news and entertainment outlets. A number of recent events, locally and internationally, have highlighted the possible future legal and political impact and the difficulty that society is having with this particular technology.

SEO for a blog is different than SEO for most other websites, largely because of the social elements baked into blogging technology. SEO for blogs is less about buying links or tricking inadequate search technology. SEO for blogs is more focused on giving people something to talk about and creating something worthy of attention.
