Bloggers, feed on THIS...
RSS is the shit.
It's probably the hottest acronym to come along since VHS. For the unfamiliar, RSS is a protocol for providing a continuous, formatted feed of a site's content to a "reader" client. Most blogs have RSS "output" capability built in. For the Webmaster, it means having a single-point source that could automatically update the content on thousands of pages, whenever you add to or edit the primary site. For affiliate programs, it means no more having to make your affiliates come to the site for banners, images, or any form of content. Affiliates only need to know what feeds you offer -- think about it, banners, fully-formatted tgp pages, program news, anything you want. It's like POTD on steroids. Your affiliates will feed and feed and feed. There are a number of different ways to get your RSS feed parsed out to its proper form on a web page. These range from server-side includes using PHP or ASP, etc. to proprietary decoders. In good hands, it works great. For example: BLOGGING. So, where do we go from here? http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...IG/engeboo.gif I'd like to introduce you to RSSSEXTICKERS.com. RSSEXTICKERS lets you go from feed URL in-hand to content on-page in about 60 seconds. And, it lets you turn the feed into an animated scroll on the recipient page -- like a news "ticker" -- hence the name :winkwink: RSSEXTICKERS also allows you FULL CUSTOMIZATION of the feeds displayed appearance, including background, text and hover colors and dimensions. Here are two examples meant to blend in with the site design: XBIZ on DOTXXXBLOG.com PINKGASM on IMPOVERISHEDNOOBS BLOG This is a timely innovation in the midst of avalanching activity on both the RSS and Blogging fronts. I encourage you to check it out. You get 3,000 hosted ticker feeds on the house, and 10,000 for $6 bucks, thereafter. Feeds are hosted by us. All you do is drop-in a URL and get a URL back -- super simple. Enjoy and thank you -- :) 2hp |

looks good, but how does this benefit the blog? looking at the source code one can't even see the links- which is the whole point of sydicating from SE perspective...

You need to start using a REGULAR FUCKING FONT when you type. I still can't read anything you ever say because you insist on typing like a moron, underlining the wrong words for emphasis and picking the worst fonts available.
PS. RSS.. welcome to 5 years ago in mainstream. |

This what bugs me for a long time, why don't sponsors use RSS/XML for free hosted content delivery - banners, gallereis, text discriptions, reviews, profiles, etc, etc..? whould make life so much easier.
Free sites (tgps, review sites, blogs) could be automatically updated as soon as fresh content released. Am i wrong? |

Indeed, John, those examples are horrible. But you can't judge the value of a technology by the worst things it produces. To quote a friend I miss, "That would be silly." TO THE GROUP: Hi, my name is Jack and I'm a sucker for a comeback story. http://www.huntington.org/LibraryDiv...Seabiscuit.jpg Okay. Well, I didn't really start this thread to champion the whole of RSS. so much. I'm just a guy trying to sell a service that happens to run on RSS and doesn't really have a whole lot to do with RSS beyond that. RSSEXTICKERS is a nice little idea, available at a moment when I believe it can be used to make some money and raise a level of convenience for some people. Period. Now 'scuse me while I go shoot some hoops for a little while... http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...PIG/basuke.gif http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...IG/akanboo.gif Fuck, you're STILL here... I mean it man, I have no interest in explaining the present significance of RSS on this board. If my service makes sense to you, subscribe. If not, save it for therapy. I, for one, have more important things to do. Now scram! ... http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...G/football.gif ... "go awaaay" http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...PIG/fukkin.gif "[whistles]" http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...PIG/nebuta.gif "UUUUUUUUUGH!" http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...IG/setuboo.gif "Okay, fine. If it's all the same to you, I'd like to dictate from the tub... " http://gorgeous-wallpaper.com/AVATAR...G/boo_yoku.gif Why RSS is going to Change EVERYTHING very soon One of you wrote in one of the threads that appeared responsive to this one... [Don't you just love those threads -- "I just happen to be talking about the same thing over here...in a derivative misinformed rebuttal that has nothing at all to do with what you wrote" -- dude, whatever]...anyway well, this fella compared RSS to Pointcast. Now, that was very silly. Here's why: The famously brief success of Pointcast back in the 90's left us with a number of business lessons, an inconclusive first (and very early) impression of Data Subscription, and the annoying buzz phrase "Push" Technology, which immediately had to be balanced against "Pull" Technology. Once Pointcast was extinct, and people lacked for an actual example they could study and think about, the "Push" and "Pull" lost their high-tech cache, and very soon nobody knew what they were supposed to mean anymore, beyond their prior significance on the doors of the world. Then, of course, the bubble burst, and the last thing anybody wanted to think about was a company that had failed before the bubble burst. For those who don't remember or were too young, Pointcast gave you ad-subsidized, user-configurable content (news, movie listings, horoscopes, weather, etc.) to the desktop. It ran on a large client-side application you had to download. Millions did. Pointcast failed not because it wasn't popular. It was IMMENSELY popular. It failed because it choked up all the bandwidth of corporate networks, and brought traffic to a crawl. CTO's told CEOs who told HR Directors who told employees that Pointcast was as bad as a virus, and you'd be fired if you had it installed on your desktop. Well, that'll put a damper on demand. In the dust cloud of Pointcast's demise, something else was largely missed -- for a "Push" technology, there sure was a FUCKLOAD of pulling going on -- :) Sad cliche: too right, too soon. Folks sure do like to suck a feed, that much was clear. RSS is not new. So, why now? In a word: blogs. I could write apout blogs all day. Some days I do. I blog about blogs. The most important thing that blogs are doing, and what you need to register for purposes of the presemt argument, is they are re-distributing power. As usual, when that hapens [harrumph], some folks are in denial. Yet happening it is, and with sweeping implications for all of online advertising and most of the ways business is done online. In this new order, blogs have clout. Google loves them. More than that, for the ways in which the blogosphere is also a network within but separate from the Internet, vast new capabilities and strengths are being perfected there. How the blogosphere and the Open Source Movement have brought us closer to the Democratic Ideal is worthy of a separate treatment. But, for purposes of the present argument, note simply that everybody is getting a blog, and they are doing it for expression, for money, or both. Meanwhile, as the "infrastructure" of the blogosphere was being built and conceived, RSS was also evolving and improving. If you're wondering how RSS got so well integrated into the blogosphere and other Open Source projects, I can tell you. Because it was all the same people -- Develeopers, influencers, programmers, idealists, Net-Socialists. Basically, people who believe the things the Web was supposed to be about were very correct, and who see now an opportunity to make a change for the better. Get ready for the most important sentence of this post: The public will consume RSS feeds aggresively >> because feed providers are going to make them extremely attractive >> because they REALLY want people to suck their feeds >> becase sucking on someone's feed shall constitute a "vote" for them, that will raise their Trust score >> at a time when Google is shifting emphasis from [formulaic] Relevancy to [subjective] Trust, and links you buy are becoming far less influential to your PR than links you are given. The always unimpeachable Google Math rigor need not protest the subjective change at all. Math rigor remains intact, as Google ceases throwing computing resources at eluding and chasing SE spammers, and focuses on bringing democracy to PR via statistics. That was long and technical... The layman will blog and consume RSS because it's fun and participatory. Pros will do it to make money and be bigshots. Corporations will do it because they have to, because their customers are knocking on the blogdoor. FINAL WORD ABOUT RSS: What is RSS? | RSS is --to whittle it all the way down to ESSENCE -- an agreement between parties to do something a certain way, consistently. O-ho! RSS IS the Internet. Choose any acronym you like -- you can't separate the central idea from any of its implementations -- :) 2hp |
