A now "deceased" website on RSS marketing and RSS publishing - a look at the history of internet marketing

Rok Hrastnik

A Note from the Author: The RSS Diary is Closed

rssdiary.marketingstudies.net was built to help marketers get the most from RSS. However, much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.

Since I've moved on to other interests in internet marketing years ago, the site is now officially closed, and only remains online as an archive of a part of internet marketing's past. This is how we used to see RSS between 2004 - 2007. We don't, anymore, but there's no harm in having a small part of our past available online.

With that, I'm also making the e-book that started all of this, Unleas the Marketing and Publishing Power of RSS, available for free download.

Gnomedex Starting Today: Where to Find Coverage

 
 

Gnomedex, dubbed as "the technology people aggregator" and focusing on the "Grassroots of RSS, Blogging, Podcasting, BitTorrent and Media", is starting tonight.

Since RSS is at the forefront of the event, I am quite sorry for not being able to make it there, but at least I'll be able to follow what's going on through all the online coverage that's bound to set some event blog coverage records.

Perhaps the only dissapointing thing is that I'm not really seeing any people from the RSS marketing world in the program (Chris, what's up with that?). Of course, some topics are somewhat marketing related, but where's stuff like using RSS for direct marketing, RSS advertising, e-commerce RSS, RSS for relationship management and so on, especially case studies on all of this?

Now the Syndicate conference was more business oriented, but still not enough real marketing content. So just perhaps an event organizer should step-up and do an RSS event just for marketers?

Or am I hoping for too much? Could be, since "marketing" is still considered a bad word in many circles ... not to mention that just about every other "new age internaut" is proclaiming marketing dead. Oh well, times never change:)

Anyway, back to Gnomedex and places to find coverage from the event ...
