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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

Mobile Photo RSS Reader

 
 

49PM.com just released a mobile application that enables you to read RSS feeds using your mobile phone and view any associated images formatted exactly to the size of your mobile display.

A great application that proves just how far RSS will go and at the same time demonstrates how important mobile is actually getting. And since RSS content items are usually just short descriptions they are especially appropriate for delivery to mobile phones, for those of us that want to keep up with the latest news on the go.

And not to forget that your customers can now receive your customer updates directly to their mobile phones, without being burdened with SMS messages or bandwidth-heavy e-mail messages.

Here's a direct quote from 49PM.com:

"Read any RSS or Atom newsfeed and view the photos formatted exactly to the size of your mobile display! You can save downloaded photos to your phone and show them to your friends later. And when you check a newsfeed, only the newest posts are downloaded. You can add any newsfeed you like, it'll even find the feed if you enter the web location of a weblog or newsfeed page. 49PM's NewsReader works on virtually any Java enabled mobile phone with color display including Nokia, Motorola, SonyEricsson, Siemens, LG, Samsung...

49PM's NewsReader goes through our MobileServer which pre-formats news and photos before sending the data to your phone. This ensures minimum download times and that the photos will be formatted exactly to the size of your phone's display - for your viewing enjoyment!"
