These days, information is only as good as the time and place it’s received. With the current popularity of micro-blogging - how are regular sites and blogs supposed to compete?
Trackle is a new company that offers all kinds of tracking services on the Web - think of it like Google alerts for everything, including very personalized stuff that are time-consuming to track down on your own.
Tatango rolled out a new beta feature ‘RSS Syndication’ that I think is perfect for bloggers. This new feature allows users to send an automated text summary of their latest post to all members of their Tatango group.
The text message alert will start off with the first sentence of the post followed by a link to the post, aimed at increasing blog traffic.
AOL redesigns homepage to allow consumers more customization and access to 3rd party content from one location; continues strategy to open AOL.com to 3rd party content and services. Brand new homepage will let consumers access multiple social networking services directly from AOL.com, becoming the first major portal to offer direct access to information from major social networking sites. This follows the move last month to provide access to multiple e-mail services from the AOL.
The new social networking feature allows consumers to post status updates to multiple social networks at once, and provides profile activity information, including new friend requests, status updates and mail notifications from services such as AIM, Bebo, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and other third-party sites.
Continuing to evolve its offering to meet the changing needs of the users, Rediff.com, India’s leading online portal added yet another first to its flagship product Rediffmail by introducing feeds functionality from popular social media sites likes Orkut, Facebook and LinkedIn into the users Rediffmail inbox.
The objective of introducing feeds into Rediffmail is to help users discover content on social networking platforms which is relevant and useful in an effective and non-intrusive manner. News feeds within the mailbox will help users to find interesting content like photos, videos and music that their friends and family are sharing on the social networking platforms in their mailbox itself.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) allows you to get information sent directly to you, eliminating the need for you to that information individually. Using a reader will allow all the RSS feeds to come to one spot for you to read at your leisure. While reading news and blogs has been a traditional use for RSS feeds, there are also tons of fun ways to use these feeds. The list below touches on some ways you can read the news, but it also lets you learn, share, keep up with your interests, and so much more.
FilterMyRSS is a simple feed filter to sort out the unwanted information from an XML or RSS feed and provide only the information which is relevant to you.
This RSS utility filter was created as an exclusive tool for gathering information to be used on my other websites.
