19.08.2005Google AdSense for RSS feeds launching
After ages being bought by Google, FeedBurner is set to launch AdSense for RSS next week, as reported on the company’s blog.
Similar
to AdSense for websites, it will display text advertising in the RSS feeds of the publisher. Meaning that if you a post in your Google Reader
regarding anything (lets say mobiles); you will see ads related it (Verizon etc).
How is this going to work? The
company explains by
saying, “that publishers present already in the Ad Network will see premium CPM ads directly sold on their content; but with a bonus of
targeted ads.”–This means that you get loaded with the best of both; a dedicated Google sales force, along with added revenue that fills
your coverage provides.
This might mean an end of a free fare for the RSS consumers but at the other hand it would trigger certain sites
to offer full feeds as they can now be effectively monetized; as
Adam
Ostrow from Mashable comments.
Although the FeedBurner has been neglected for ages since its acquisition by Google, interest has risen
to speed up the deal. This could very likely be due to the effective monetization and with Google’s mammoth base of advertisers signing up, the
idea very well looks closer to becoming a reality.

11.11.2008Darn that pesky euro! RSS feed problem traced to currency character
Well, as soon as we start publicizing our RSS feeds -- and we have one new one just for Betanews Alpha -- we get reports of problems with them. I'm
able to corroborate some of what many Firefox users are reporting: With some Firefox installations, our RSS feeds have been coming up blank. Some,
though not all.
One thing we noticed: On systems where Firefox is installed along with a separate RSS news reader, our RSS feed pages
do
not turn up blank in Firefox. In fact, they look fine. On systems where no separate RSS reader is installed, our feed pages
do turn up
blank.
Our infrastructure man -- or perhaps better put, "InfraMan," Eric Steil -- discovered the problem this afternoon: Believe it
or not, it has to do with the character for the euro, the European currency. I won't type that character here because it may cause the problem, up
until Eric installs the solution. Believe it or not, for Firefox browsers that rely on Live Bookmarks, the inclusion of the euro character in the page
causes the whole feed to come up blank. Anyway, we've tracked down the problem, and we're implementing the fix right away...

22.12.20062007: The Year in RSS
Marshall Kirkpatrick: This past year was a big one for RSS. RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, was the backbone of all early developments in the new
era of the internet. It made blogs readable, podcasts subscribable, wikis trackable and search persistent. While explicit, knowing adoption of RSS
is often said to be dismal ("it's too complicated, it's just more info overload" etc.) - I think we may be underestimating the extent of adoption.
Here's my list of highlights from 2007, what's yours?
Three years after
a 2004 Pew study found that 1 out of 20 people online said they used an RSS aggregator to read content online (in 2004!) -
RSS was in 2007
the 3rd most searched for "what is" term on Google all
year. Only "love" and "autism" were looked up more and RSS beat out both "emo" and "HPV."

05.02.2009Companies Tap RSS to Tame Info Overload
As employees struggle to read an increasing amount of work-related material, some companies have turned to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology
to improve productivity.
With RSS servers and readers designed for workplaces, IT departments set up internal information feeds
that employees can subscribe to, a delivery mechanism that, for some information, can be more precise and effective than e-mail.
"The first problem we see addressed regularly with enterprise RSS systems is e-mail overload. Most knowledge workers these days are just about
completely fed up with e-mail," said Oliver Young, a Forrester Research analyst.
An enterprise RSS system is ideal for
delivering the type of information employees need to know about, but not necessarily act on right away, Young said.
