What about you? Has the writing bug infected you with a yearning desire to broadcast your thoughts in cyberspace? spamfilter@triple1.com (Kathy Steinemann) Fri, 04 May 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/68/1/What-Are-RSS-Feeds/Page1.html RSS also known as rich site summary or real simply syndication, arrived on the scene a number of years ago, but was only recently embraced by webmasters as a means to effectively syndicate content. RSS Feeds provide webmasters and content providers an avenue to provide concise summaries to prospective readers. Thousands of commercial web sites and blogs now publish content summaries in an RSS feed. Each item in the feed typically contains a headline; article summary and link back to the online article. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor Team) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/67/1/Feed-The-Need-5-Ways-To-Use-RSS-To-Boost-Your-Business-Or-Organizational-Succes/Page1.html RSS (it stands for Really Simple Syndication, among other things) is a relatively new technology that allows anyone who creates frequently changing web content - news, blogs, current events, etc. - to deliver their messages to interested readers with no fuss, no muss and best of all - no spam! Currently, RSS is being used by content-rich sites (mainly blogs and news centers) to keep readers up-to-date on newly published posts or breaking stories. But RSS can do so much more. Many businesses and organizations are failing to truly exploit the amazing properties of this technology - and in doing so are leaving on the table innumerable opportunities to create even greater value, sales and traffic for their company, product or service and the market share it represents. Below are just a few of the creative ways that businesses and other groups can tap into the power of RSS and create new streams of revenue and interest for their organizations. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/66/1/What-Is-This-RSS-XML-RDF-and-Atom-Business/Page1.html It's been a long day at work and you're in no mood to cook dinner or go out. Time to count on the reliable pizza delivery guy. The order is called in and he promptly arrives with smokin' hot pizza within 30 minutes as promised. If it were only that easy with a picky family where no one can agree on the same restaurant for dinner. One wants Mexican, another wants Chinese, and another wants a burger and Mexican. Instead of running to three different places, you call a delivery service that goes to all of them and brings it to you. What could be easier in getting a meal without cooking it or fetching it? article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/65/1/RSS--How-to-Use-It-part-1/Page1.html Have you ever read an article, intended to explain RSS in simple terms that, begins well, but soon descends into confusing jargon or information overload?If so, take heart, I was in the same place a few months ago.Often the best way to understand something, is to use it. RSS is no exception. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/64/1/Blog-Problems/Page1.html What in the world is up with the world of blogs? Blogs are meant to be this great new technology where people can share their ideas and interests with others around the globe. As far as I'm concerned the state of blogs is one of chaos, confusion, and anti-interactivity. The other day I decided to do some research on the Web and try to connect to some blog writers out there that interested me. Let me tell you it was not an enjoyable task as I had article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/63/1/3-Reasons-To-Publish-An-E-Newsletter-AND-A-Blog/Page1.html With spam filters on high alert, delivering a newsletter by email is not as easy as it was even one year ago. Should it reach your subscriber's inbox (without getting siphoned into a junk folder), it still has to vie for attention amongst dozens - or even hundreds - of new messages. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor Team) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/62/1/Benefits-to-RSS/Page1.html RSS streamlines communication between publishers and readers. Since RSS has had a popularity surge, webmasters have been experimenting and using RSS feeds to deliver content in new and innovative ways. Typically, RSS feeds contain news headlines and content summaries. The content summaries contain just enough information without overwhelming the reader with superfluous details. If the reader is interested and wants additional information they can click on the item in the feed, accessing the website which contains additional details. RSS readers aggregate multiple feeds, making it easy for individuals to quickly scan information contained within each feed. Feeds are generally themed, allowing users to opt-in to feeds that are of interest. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlementor.com/articles/61/1/How-To-Build-Traffic-To-Your-Blog/Page1.html With the growing interest in blogging as a means of online promotion and branding, a lot of marketers are starting blogs to promote their opinions, products, books and services.But a blog is like a website. "Write and they will come" isn't exactly a magic formula to bring in traffic by the boatload. article@articlementor.com (Article Mentor) Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500
