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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

RSS in IE and Longorn: Video from Gnomedex

 
 

Microsoft's "love" for RSS and their future RSS plans have already become public knowledge after being presented at Gnomedex.

For everyone that missed the event, here's the video recording of that same Microsoft session. [thanks to Chris Lang for the link]

Take a look if you'd like to get a quick early preview (video demonstration) of RSS in the next version of IE. It's still early and many things are bound to change, but it's at least an indication of where their going, especially making the subscribe feature easier to understand and use.

In the video Microsoft also explains about wider RSS integration in to Longhorn, gives an interesting examples and talks about their RSS ordering extension.

Another video to check out is located directly on Microsoft's site, giving some more background information. [thanks to Luka Kogovsek for the link]
