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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

Using RSS for Document Version Updating

 
 

This is very cool.

One of the beautiful things about RSS is that it's such a versitile and flexible channel that can practically deliver any kind of linear content, such as dozens of different types of content updates.

Perhaps marketers and other people in business will finally stop seeing RSS as a blogging tool but as a full-service content delivery channel.

Anyway, the example I'm talking about is Writeboard, a web-based word processing tool, which is especially suitable for collaborating on various projects.

The cool part is that it creates an RSS feed for each document and then delivers document changes to your RSS Reader, thus giving you great control over document versioning.

OK, not something terribly exciting for marketers (unless you start thinking in terms of making internal marketing planning and knowledge exchange easier), but still a great RSS implementation.
