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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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.

Google News via RSS Tool

 
 

Just got this link from Marshall Kirkpatrick. It's an online tool that creates RSS feeds from Google News searches for you, and it actually works.

Their only terms of use are that you may not use their solution to create feeds to be syndicated on your own site:

"You can generate and read as many feeds as you want for your desktop or online feed reader. But you cannot syndicate the results of any of the feeds on your website. Seriously. I'd get into a lot of trouble if anybody did that."

Let's just all hope now that Google doesn't shut them down ...

BTW - I just got back from my workshop in Bosnia, which means finally getting back to RSS news and answering your e-mail:)
