RSS Publishing: Not Simply For Blogging Any longer
By Trina L.C. Writer
Web logs, channel ezines, what's the difference?
Web logs, or blogs, are a communication medium, gaining in popularity, through which RSS [Really Simple Sydication] technology has been introduced to the populous. However, blogs and RSS are not synonomous. RSS technology is what gives life to the blog. and, has been about for awhile. Blogging is a comparatively
new use for the system.
RSS has been used by the media for quite several time, to bring Net
travelers the news, stock updates, and such. But blogging has brought it into the mainstream, production
it a bit more user friendly for the average traveler.
Put simply, a web log is a interactive, virtual diary, that can be see by anyone, and commented on, by its readers, as well. The technology, drive the blog, is capable of so more more.
Publishing an ezine through a channel feed is another use that is picking up steam. Seeing the benefits of channel publishing, more and more ezine publishers are either supplementing or exchange their email systems of distribution.
Since channel subscription is not subscriber bot friendly, and requires that one physically subscribe to the channel of choice, without email reliance, it is the only true 100% opt-in know-how
for receiving information. Subscription forgeries cannot occur. Opting out is as simple as deleting the channel from your computer. It is instant and non-publisher dependent.
Channel business enterprise likewise does permanent, what used to end up in the trash. Even as ezines that manage to do through the filters and into the inboxes of readers, eventually wind up at the virtual curb, once
it has been read. Not so with channel publishing. Articles publicized
on a channel are given an item number and become a permanent archive of the channel. This allows the reader to refer back to it, should the need arise, at any time, without having to store the piece on their hard drive.
Another plus to organisation and archiving, is that these articles, being rich in content, are easliy spidered by search engines. This feature offers the publisher to gain new subscribers based on keyword searches ready-made by John Q. Basically, folk who have ne'er
detected
of my own zine, can find out just about it, just by searching for a term contained inside
one of the articles I've published, and Hello... New Subscriber!
Best of all, ezine business enterprise via RSS channels, allows the publisher a simple know-how
of syndicating their publication on any web site wanting to add content. This is free exposure to the nth degree! We're not talking just about adding a link to causal agency elses web site, we're talking just about running a list of recent headlines, that send
to its point of origin. Consider what syndication meant for Ann Landers and Dear Abby, in print. Syndication is what has unbroken
Star Trek alive and well, through four decades.
Lastly, wherever
email gets information lost among the spam in the reader's inbox, channel business enterprise puts you right on their desktop, wherever
you can't be uncomprehensible
or accidentally deleted. You'll ne'er
trip another autoresponder over again
either.
Web logs exist because of RSS, but the technology itself is so more much than that. It is the foundation upon which limitless applications may be based. Ezine channel business enterprise is but another extension; there are still more to come.
