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

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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

Podcast Users Expected To Reach 60 Million In Five Years

 
 

New research from The Diffusion Group is forecasting that the number of US podcasting users will reach 60 million people by 2010.

"The increasing use of digital music players and other factors are expected to drive a 101 percent compound annual growth rate in podcast listeners over the next five years, The Diffusion Group said. The number of podcast users this year is expected to reach 4.5 million."
But can we really put much faith in research based on such a young technology?

Either way, time will tell.
