Why should I be about RSS feeds

RSS-FEEDS
Can face, as we all rely on email communications it not really is as much a reliable technology.

Why should I be about RSS feeds
SPAM and viruses have, made with medium and its value. Users have become admittedly paranoid about privacy issues and have begun "tuning out" and mentally e-Mail filtering.

What that means is that provider to explore alternatives really should start means of communication, to be heard. One of these alternatives is RSS or really simple syndication. While I'm not suggesting that you give up email I think that many might be closer look at RSS-feeds also you. Because RSS feeds select end user spam, is not a problem. RSS uses XML, a very basic markup language. One that contains no risks on e-Mail. Choose distribution structures for the feeds that you want to display. Content providers that choose feeds they want to view.

By providing an RSS feed, another site can pick up "News" about your software and post it. If e-Mail on a further destruct course RSS new standards and accepted viable alternative or to complement an email. Now have you a 'technical' customer base RSS "cool" something might add.

What are RSS feeds - expressed very simply non-technical RSS is an XML file that contains a list of Web pages with related news or information. The RSS is included in an XML file and referred to as "Feed". RSS format is very simple, in fact I could create a feed with little effort. The XML file contains basically what would generally be used as a title and description in an html document with the URL of a Web page with the actual contents.

To see example feeds at: http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/feed.xml-http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/marketing-feed.xml
http://www.NotePage.net/Feed.XML

Once uploaded to a Web site that the feed validates be should (make sure you have used any invalid characters). Engines can then present the feed. Individuals can view your content in a reader. Individuals can also news-feed on their sites with an aggregator, and tap the magazine vendor or others add feed.

For simplicity, I have created a Web page with RSS resources on http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/rss-feeds.html.

REALTORS employ RSS feeds to homes for sale

Every day brokers RSS as a tool to market homes for sale contact more and more. The growing RSS phenomenon in the realty market makes sense. In contrast to e-Mail RSS feeds, you have a 100% delivery rate. In addition, the costs are create and manage RSS-feed insignificant compared to the print advertising spend every week to Realtors. Imagine the spent each week to promote the various properties in the newsletter and weekly newspapers, compared to the costs associated with updating and managing an RSS feed.

How it works:

1. Create certain feeds.
Create RSS feeds of real estate for sale in a specific city or zip code. Another consideration is, create an RSS feed based on the start or create a feed of scheduled open houses in a given region. RSS feeds can be created manually using a text editor.

A step by step guide is available at http://www.make-rss-feeds.com or software can be used specifically for RSS feed creation.The RSS-feed controls published the real estate agent, what information in the syndicated RSS feed is included the real estate agent, it finally decision, teaser copy or full articles. In General, most use Realtors copy such as in the print-show to attract home buyers attention.

Once you have created a RSS feed, must transfer the feed to your server. Can do this using a standard FTP client (if it is integrated in the feed generation software). Feeds are generally in the domain root directory like this: http://www.mydomain.com/nameoffeed.xml or subdirectory like this http://www.mydomain.com/rss/nameoffeed.xml.

2. Promotion of the feed.
If you need a RSS-feed you promote the feed on your company website Realty, submit the feed of numerous RSS feed directories and the availability of RSS feeds customers recommend.

To the signal to website visitors that an RSS feed with content that is available in connection with the site include a colorful graphic on the site. Brokers can RSS feed buttons select the text on the button and customize the color scheme of the button. As soon as the color and text is entered, a custom graphic is created immediately. Webmasters can easily style the RSS button next to a website theme.

Creating of custom RSS buttons http://www.feedforall.com/public/rss-graphic-tool.htm many visitors who have installed RSS readers/aggregators automatically detects a RSS-feed on the website, if you add a small portion of the text of the header field of your Web page. Use the following format to support the auto-detection of the location of the RSS feed reader RSS.

[link rel = "alternate" type = "application/RSS + XML" title = "Rss" "href="http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml"]Replace the brackets [] with less than and greater than then symbols <> and replace http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml with the URL of the RSS feed.

To increase the exposure of Realty RSS feed, the RSS feeds should submit Realtors to search engines and directories. This can be done manually. How you would submit the URL of a Web site or Web page, a search engine, or you can use software to automate the process. There is a great list of RSS directories at http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm. If you want to automate the submission process, you should review RSS submit: http://www.dummysoftware.com/rsssubmit.html.

3. Update the feed.
The RSS-DVI-Feed(s) daily or weekly by adding a new feed item, update as new features are made available. Repost feed items for all properties that have experienced a change in the price.

4. RSS feed tips.
The advantage of using of marketing to maximize RSS, you need business phone number or a link to the website in the description of the feed, given the Realty, allowing all interested parties call the appropriate Office to obtain additional information, or planning a viewing option. Contain images of the House in the RSS feed description so that the property of the viewer visually attract. Select different houses every week or emphasize different property features each time when a property is listed.

It is also proposed that REALTORS communicate success stories by interested parties know when houses are under-contract but still on the market or communicate, if properties are sold and no longer available. Realty market benefit as it fit for the real estate industry is a natural RSS as a technology.

RSS won the syndication standards battle

RSS won the battle
RSS seems the last conquered have to sweep syndication standard in the industry.

The final nail in the coffin of the atom specification it seems Microsoft's inclusion of RSS into the newest version of Internet Explorer and reports that the RSS in Longhorn, the next release. Even atom the steadfast supporter Google, appears to have seen the light. Google had previously blogger, a popular blogging tool purchased, that uses the atom specification, created the content of the blog on the blogger platform to publish. In the past Google had hope the approval of the RSS specification clearly strategically, that Atom, would take control.

Google seems to confirm that perhaps in purchasing blogger, they chose the wrong specification the last new service that allows to monitor Google News with RSS or Atom feeds.

The adoption of a syndication standard was slowed by the struggle between atom and RSS. Two defined syndication standards, vying for the number one position. Atom supporters claimed flexibility but far curved RSS support from heavyweights like Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo added in an IT industry, the single standard solutions clearly preferred. Together with the popularity rise of podcasting seems based on the RSS 2.0 specification have sealed the fate of the future syndication standard.

The history and the relationship between RSS and Atom is a dirty story, which has hindered the progress of an online syndication standard. Now that the leader has been defined their is little in the way of RSS growth. Suspicious towards always devoured standards fight companies are embracing RSS as a communication channel now.

It is clear that those who have earned behind RSS as the leading specification, are the winner.

Strangely enough, while those deeply rooted in the industry that recognise difficulties with a dual standard, users will see a difference in RSS feeds with the atom and RSS standards created rarely. Most popular RSS reader support read RSS feeds in both formats. Although the purpose of RSS and Atom is the same, the specification is very different, so it is difficult and time-consuming move for tool developers between the two standard.

Now atom's attempt to replace RSS flat please, see innovation probably significant the syndication arena and progress.

Large companies are RSS extensibility, using namespaces, add the required tags advantage. Apple has this with iTunes, Microsoft for ordered lists and Yahoo with MediaRSS. All use the same basic RSS 2.0 format but defined RSS supported future is bright with many companies working proactively to unite an once divided standard.

Pros and cons of RSS feeds

If you implement whether RSS feeds or not to fight with the decision, should the following advantages and disadvantages of using for webmasters, the RSS feeds as part of their content and communication plan...
Benefits (pros of using RSS)
The benefits for a webmaster chooses RSS feeds on their website to implement, are numerous:
1. Saves time
RSS feeds save time. RSS subscribers can quickly scan RSS feeds, visit without any Web site. Subscribers can click on all the items, they are interested in to obtain additional information.

2. In good time
RSS feeds are up to date. RSS feeds automatically update itself at any time new information posted is, so that the information your subscribers receive via their RSS reader or news aggregator is time.

3. Spamfrei
RSS is free of spam. Subscribers have not to care, wading through huge amounts of spam in an attempt to get that really interest them on the information.

4. Opt-in
The RSS subscribers what they want to see, and what information would like to receive it decides. Knowing they have full control, and that they subscribe to no personal details, will they be more likely to opt-in.

5. Unsubscribing is easy

6. Alternate communication channel
RSS offers an alternative communication channel for your business. And more channels that you deploy, you have more options related to your customers and potential customers.

7. Expands audience through syndication
The type of RSS is that it is designed specifically for Syndication (i.e. publication by others). And widespread syndication can extend the reach of an enterprise and strengthening the corporate brand.

8. Can increase backlinks
If an RSS feed is syndicated, it can increase the number of connections back to the original site. And more inbound links rank will help often a site better in organic search rankings.

9. Increases productivity
RSS increases productivity, which allow people to quickly scan, new posts and headlines, and only clicking through and spending time on the items of interest.

10. Competition
Whether you decide to implement RSS feeds or not, your competitors likely will. So one way to competitive to remain is for the implementation of RSS feeds and other Web 2.0 technology and not allow that your competition to get before you.

Negatives (cons against using RSS)

1. Not widely adopted yet

Outside technical circles has RSS is still not widely adopted. While it is becoming more popular, it is still is far from a mainstream technology.

2. Content can be copied easily
Content in an RSS feed can just copied and replicated, regardless of whether you or not should be. Some aggregators respect the copyright of the content in one RSS feed.

3. Tracking subscribers is difficult
It is very difficult to track the number of subscribers who read a RSS-feed or items in a RSS feed. This is in part to the fact that at the core, RSS to achieve the widest syndication will be possible.

4. Source origination difficult
It is sometimes difficult to determine the origin of an RSS feed item. If an item is syndicated, the source is not always specified. The metrics available are not always the traffic received.

Weigh the pros and cons of implementing an RSS feed as a communication channel and determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks in your own situation.

RSS guidelines

The arguments continue to rage about the ambiguities in the RSS specifications. But the fact is: RSS is here to stay, and defined specification likely is going the current RSS 2.0 as well, as it is going to be have. Attempts were made to "best practice" to create documents and specification clarifications. We found that it would be helpful, General guidelines for the construction of an RSS 2.0 feed. In General, the following guidelines to build up a are RSS-feed. It is good to the habit of checking the RSS feed, either software or an online validator. Here are some general guidelines for creating RSS feeds: 1. Cases are only a case per article for maximum compatibility. The RSS 2.0 specification does not clearly indicate whether multiple enclosures are allowed or not, but only a single enclosure supports most RSS readers. It is therefore, correspond to the reader, and an enclosure only take in each RSS feed item. 2. Date formats date formats can be very difficult; Make sure that all data is correctly formatted. 3. Encodingencoding is required for certain characters. If you are using software to create the feed, it should treat the character encoding for you. 4. HTML while the specification is not explicit, it is a good idea in General, do not use HTML coding within the channel or the object title. For maximum compatibility, feed is the only place that you should use HTML in the RSS feed item description. 5. GUID GUID (global unique identifier) are not required. Publishers but recommended, use a unique string in the GUID field. Many RSS readers are looking for GUID changes to determine whether new items in a RSS feed are available. 6. Images , if you mount an image with the feed, the recommended image size is 88 x 31 (the maximum allowed size is 144 x 400). If you also are RSS-feed item description or housing areas of a picture in the, no size limits exist, but keep in mind that excessively large graphics will have a negative impact on the amount of time, that it takes to load the feed. 7. Favicons some RSS readers and search engines display the favicon hosting area next to the entry for an RSS feed. To withdraw your feed to be sure you domain include a favicon in the root directory of your site. 8. URLsfor images, Web sites and links, instead "relatively" use "absolute" URLs URLs. The intent of RSS is to syndicate content, so that the RSS feed may not always local to the person to view the feed. So the full Web path should be to all images, Web sites and links are used. In other words, you do not use ".."/ ImageUrl.gif ", but the full URL"http://www.mydomain.com/imageurl.gif"beim use linking of content." 9. Title, use a descriptive title for the channel feed and RSS feed items. Most RSS directories and search engines use the words in the channel title and item title classify RSS-feeds.10. MIME types, if you include a file in the case of an RSS feed, sure, "Size", and "Mime type" of the case look to define file properly. Here - http://www.feedforall.com/mime-types.htm for a list of the correct MIME type formats. 11. Auto-discovery , RSS-feed "autosense mode" include code in your HTML page header. It will make sure that browser and RSS feed reader automatically know that an RSS feed for specific content is available. To create the AutoDiscovery code - http://www.feedforall.com/autodiscovery.htmvolume 12 the number of items in a feed is important. Set a story and expand the feed on a regular basis. Crop the RSS feed if it is excessively long; This will help to make the RSS feed load faster. About the author:

No. more need to keep important messages, messages and other content for a week or even a month in your e-zine-with RSS you can be updated as often as your content as you want / need, and your subscribers will not, however. 3. APPCASTING Appcasting goes one step further, give you the opportunity, provide critical software updates and patches for your existing customers without to your Web site every week to visit, to determine whether an urgent update is needed already available or not. 4.

Imagine your customers doing a search for your product categories, and then get a link to the RSS feed for this very same search result to find out immediately if a new product matching his published or available for order is.
--> This works for complex searches as well as. If your customers that are custom particular to certain product categories, but only in one search price area, you can deliver the same results to them via RSS, but with a small twist ?, as soon as a new product matching starts its terms and conditions, including the desired price, they will be notified immediately via RSS.

Give your visitors a simple form, with which they give their criteria and then access give up them RSS feed she brought exactly on product updates their criteria are based. Why not just use E-mail? Since no one really wants more E-mail messages in their inboxes, and nobody wants to give away their personal information while RSS anonymous is, requires an E-mail address and is read if the customer decides that he has the time.5. Personalized CONTENT SERVICESpersonalized/customized database listings are very similar to product updates, but refer your visitors to complex information that you provide as such as ?--> job listings

Still other new services create RSS feed to your mobile phone by SMS key information from a, which get (such as getting an SMS informing you that new jobs match your is available). Again, you can track other sites if you need your material library return, and even when your holds are ready and when they are in the process, which run all this with RSS.

Their RSS feed might look like spam

by k. soft

RSS feeds seem to be the breakout technology for the year. With more users turn to them to increase the number of visitors follows on their website, It?s no wonder that a trail of RSS-spam feed as a result. The difference between classification as spam from real content or RSS could make a careful editing of your feeds.

RSS search engines start only steam to pick up. As more RSS feeds to search, the number of visitors increases and spam is sure to follow. It is an unfortunate side-effect free communication. While RSS users usually feeds that can check out to keep them as spam, browsing with keywords in one is RSS search engine where the problem arises.

RSS spam consists largely of three main types found most often in the RSS search engines. The first type is keyword stuffing.

Keyword stuffing includes to fill each RSS feed item with high value of keywords for a particular topic. The articles are not for human visitors, but instead for search engine robots to direct traffic to a destination Web site. This RSS spam technique is banned by major search engines often nothing more than an adaptation of the typical keyword filled site.

The second type includes the RSS feed link farms. These RSS articles contain very little content, if any, as a simple keyword. The main attraction is the feed title. By clicking on the feed takes title feeds the user to a blog containing tens or hundreds of other blogs and RSS, each directing to more links within the farm. The aim of this type of RSS spam is the user to click on advertising or direct to a Web site to defraud them.

The third type is the creation of fake RSS feeds. They are displayed as legitimate, but often duplicated article content. It is certainly debatable whether they offer value. These feeds are usually in mass, created by automated scripts and displayed similar in the nature of the link farms. By attracting the users to seemingly valuable content, they hope to gain advertisement clicks or product Web site traffic.

Their RSS feed can happen to fall into one of these three categories. While you can experience just increase in traffic from the RSS search engines, these lists to filter out the RSS spam techniques work. However, you can use still RSS feeds and power on the basis of an RSS-friendly guideline.

Please refrain from automated scripts use to create online content from RSS feeds. Instead, you write your own original thoughts, product descriptions and reviews. It takes a little more time, but the search engines will appreciate much more highly that content, your visitors will appreciate the unique content and the subscription number on your RSS feed will grow. It is also important to your feed updated with changing content as opposed to using a static feed, which remains the same. Search engines value dynamic feeds and will likely rank you higher as a result.

There are tools and services are available, the aid keep updated an RSS feed with your changing content. Such services include FeedFire to convert your Web content in a regularly updated RSS feed or software such as FeedForAll for creating and editing RSS feeds.

A successful RSS feed is very much like a successful Web page. It can be a little more time to digitize your thoughts, but the end result is worth the trouble. By avoiding the tricks in RSS feed spam, can help you make the difference in the quality of feeds and enjoyment in your readers.

It seems like all Internet companies have RSS feeds now available; at least your competitors do. You have finally made the decision you have to have one. Where you start?Steps to create an RSS feed

(1) Build a feed

There are a number of desktop and Web applications, which make easy feed creation. I would someone create a feed using one of stimulate. Though not overly complicated, hand coding can be a bit confusing and time consuming an RSS feed. Most desktop software applications for building a feed are the wizard and contact-sensitive help, simplifying the process of creating a feed. After some simple steps in a wizard generally produces an RSS feed in just a few minutes.

Publishers control what information in the RSS feed is syndicated finally there is the Publisher decision, teaser copy or full articles. Look at, what you are trying to achieve, and who is your target audience when creating the Feeds.Software create a feed - http://www.feedforall.com
Tutorial for manually create XML - http://www.make-rss-feeds.com2 feed.) Transfer of the feed on your serveronce you have created an RSS feed, you need to transfer the feed to your server. Can do this using a standard FTP client (if it is integrated in the feed generation software). Feeds are generally in the domain root directory like this: http://www.mydomain.com/nameoffeed.xml, but as long as you know, where it is it doesn't really matter.3) Display the feed on your site by using a graphic of some sort to the, to signal that an RSS feed with content that is available in connection with the site include a colorful graphic on the Web site visitors. It is a standard of most Web sites, RSS-feeds available use colorful graphics such as flags indicators which RSS-feeds are available for specific content become. The flags were initially bright orange rectangles but as the popularity has grown, webmasters have bent the rules a little. Comment page has made available a free online RSS graphic tool, which allows users to quickly customize buttons by choosing the text on the button and the color scheme of the button. As soon as the color and text is entered, a custom graphic is created immediately. Webmasters can easily style the RSS button next to a website theme. Graphic experience is not required. Simply select Personalize alternative colors and insert text RSS feed graphics. The RSS graphics tool can be used by you on the following URL-http://www.feedforall.com/public/rss-graphic-tool.htm or choose finished graphics FOM: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-graphics.htm. 4.) Include information in the HTML of the Web page so RSS readers auto-detect your feedafter publishing an RSS feed, it is important, so visitors know that the feed is available. Aggregators automatically detects RSS on a website when you add a small piece of code in the header field of an HTML page. Have to replace http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml with the URL for the RSS feed. 5.) The feed display content on a sitecontent on a RSS feed can be added the visitors an alternative way to view the contents of any Web site. The information can also search to increase engine interest. View the feed as HTML can be achieved. That provide fresh content on a regular basis to encourage site visitors back.

6) Submit feed RSS directories and search enginessuch as a rapidly growing number of content sources, new and old, migrate or add RSS as important distribution channel and how more people keep informed RSS newsreaders and aggregators, to use, maintain high exposure and visibility gradually moved from full attention major search engines and content optimization techniques, to increasing awareness of RSS feed directories and search tools.

So, how you would submit the URL of a Web site or Web page, a search engine you need to submit link from the actual feed located on your website to the RSS directories. There is a great list of RSS directories at http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm.

Supply popular with catchy title, but in connection with content that provides, will not make it for your readers. The blog content must deliver what is promised in the blog title, or readers will unsubscribe and stop reading. If not stray decision on a blog title, too far from the content as the two complex zusammenh?ngen-- the title is the reader's attention, but the content must suffer then up to the expectations... or the bloggers call life. 3. Accuratenothing stains a blogger reputation as inaccurate information, so are you sure that your blog posts contain accurate information. A blogger will see book deliberately false or inaccurate information significantly damage. But if an error unintentionally or accidentally occurs in a blog post, watch it, a retraction or correction, together with an explanation and an apology to save, your reputation quickly book. 4. Relevant & timely blog posts should be relevant and timely. Hearing about something long after it has taken place will captivate not readers. Blog about information that takes place in the here and now. If you write something that is no longer in a timely manner, make sure add some sort of twist or new and/or updated information must be relevant. 5. On topicall blogs should have a general theme that connects all posts on the blog. Readers will expect posts that are related, so stay true to the blog topic and theme. 6.

If again you are simply information from another post, they are editorial content or rotate a different to the information. Readers want to not constantly that same information rehash-- they are interested in new reading material.9. Chunky contentcontent chunks break into smaller, readable. The most visitors scans only paragraphs information, and very few will take the time to read all the words contained in a post. Use bulleted lists, or break Web copy into paragraphs with bolded sub-topics that appear before the paragraphs. Writing blog posts is not just about her content spewing. The best blogs are well thought out and provocative and interesting unique content. The above steps to produce a relevant blog worth reading. About the author:

Measuring and tracking RSS

Measurement and RSS while a fairly simple concept track, is really anything as. In contrast to sites RSS have the additional constraint potential syndication, what precise tracking - a challenge to everyone, but extremely technology-savvy. It is not unrealistic for marketers to want, to know how many subscribers that they have, to win the most interest or how many click throughs on the basis of a RSS feed is generated which items in their RSS feeds.There are a number of 3rd party providers, the focus on the persecution of the consumption of RSS feeds. Some solutions are rudimentary, but probably enough for a small business, the water with RSS tests. Other RSS tracking solutions are complex and they can come close to, is the exact, with syndication there is no solution that tracks with 100% accuracy.

Techniques used to track RSS usage
Small businesses can view weblogs, details of how many times, if a particular file (RSS feed) is required. Protocols and information is rudimentary but a RSS feeds success will give a Basic. Many 3rd-party tracking options have additional tracking information available.

Hosting service
The most common method, the number of feed track access or persons accessing a feed is a third party feed demonstrates how to host. Essentially, companies like FeedBurner RSS feeds track based on access. The disadvantage of using a third-party such as FeedBurner, is that the URL is a URL FeedBurner and all PageRank or popularity of the URL associated with the feed benefit host instead of feed creator. In addition does not differentiate between unique views or syndicate feeds.

FeedBurner offers a free no frills service to host RSS feeds and they were active in the work around of user concerns. Recently the user implement concerns regarding the migration of FeedBurner relieved, a service. It is interested in a 3-step process for users migrating from FeedBurner free service, implement a permanent redirect and URL forwarding.

For information see: http://www.burningdoorc.om/feedburner/archives/001251.html

Some publishers who were concerned about lock-in – or have control over the domain and feed URLs often wanted to resist a hosting service. New FeedBurner Pro is not free partner, but allowed on their own domain, complete control show retained, users over their feeds without sacrificing the Statistical surveillance. The disadvantage of using a service such as FeedBurner, which is some filter applications to management representative servers block RSS feeds to FeedBurner or other free hosts used. -Umleitungen
Companies like SyndicateIQ have more complex tracking solutions that generate unique URLs for each Subscriber. The tracking advantages for such a tailored solution is obvious. Individual usage habits can be monitored and all users to abuse their access and inappropriate syndication content can a RSS feeds have turned off their feed. The disadvantage of course, is that RSS's success in large part by the anonymity is. Users will not have their personal habits tracked. In view of venture capital interest in these 3rd party hosting services. It is important to note that its value in the data that they collect. As with any 3rd party service, it goes without saying that publishers should carefully read the privacy policy, of whom the rights to the gathered information will be and how this information can be used. It goes without saying that the value in many of the currently available free services lies in their aggregate data. With the name clearly transparent images

While some traditional radio talk shows have begun with podcasts of their regular programmes, the bulk of the podcasts, which surfaced tends to be independent have broadcasters, who have a fascination with technology. As a result, some podcasts are a little rough around the edges. Nevertheless, it is clear that the technology is a significant opportunity and potential. Even nay-sayers believe that podcasting is more than a passing fad.
Podcasting is RSS used to syndicate and distribute audio files. Podcasting contains an audio file to the RSS-feed housing day. A package tag is used in RSS feeds, include certain files. The file can be contained in a housing day: an image, a data file, a video file or an audio file. Podcasting refers specifically to RSS feeds, the audio files in their enclosure tag included. The RSS version that currently supports enclosure tags is the RSS version 2.0. All podcasts are currently created using this specification.
The benefits to Podcasting is the fact that users can synchronize content with their media player and listen in a time and place of their choice: radio on demand. And while this technology not limited to music, it seems to be, which has received the most attention.
Podcasting is generally cost effective to implement. Investment in a good quality microphone will ensure that the recording is audible. Depending on the knowledge and experience, some podcasters invest in audio conversion, compression and audio-editing software applications. Also, Web space, bandwidth and software to create the feed for the podcast is needed. All in all is relatively small the initial costs.Publishing of podcasts
In three easy steps, your voice may have heard independent broadcasters: 1. publishers create audio content on a website for listeners. 2. You create or edit an existing RSS feed including a link to the audio file in the "Housing", a RSS 2.0 feed, to a Web site uploading it. 3. Tell the world that a podcast is available.Listen to podcasts:
Web surfers with podcasts can listen in three easy steps: 1. synchronize a news aggregator or RSS reader that supports download podcasting or a wireless device such as an iPod with your computer. 2. Enter the URL of the podcast feed in the news aggregator or podcast software. 3. As new items in the aggregator appear, check the podcast description and listen to those that are of interest.
