When it comes to cutting edge tech, I know some folks really feel that the drum beat to use what’s new and improved can get a little loud and too proud. I nonetheless have friends and acquaintances who have as yet purchased a dvd or dvd player, of course video distributors are nonetheless banking on them. And I have to confess that I nonetheless have in my possession some 8-track tapes, but then I’m dating myself as partially retro-age.
As a source for day-to-day or recurring news and info that you want to study on a continuous basis with all the sources out there comes the most dreaded side impact called spam. Most people today would rather do with out than to have to clean their in-box or use a browser with incessant popups finding in the way in order to obtain information or read the most up-to-date news.
Easy option that is virtually spam-no cost – RSS or webfeeds, I can hear the cutting edge naysayers shanking their heads vigorously. But, let’s look at two sources for news and information to see if we can win the argument.
RSS and tv are our two sources for this comparison. The two are employed for receiving info that is new or updated routinely. Gardua News 24 is broadcast wirelessly everywhere for you to alter channels when it suits the remote control in your hand. RSS/webfeeds are broadcast working with XML, Atom or RSS tech with the added function of you setting the channel for what you want to read or acquire. Tv news is now broadcast 24/7. RSS is delivered instantaneously as alterations are broadcast more than the World-wide-web.
Some do not recognize the tech behind RSS and stay away from applying it to acquire spam totally free news. E-mail news is 2-way as it is applied to send and receive info, RSS is one particular way – you get what you ask for..and that is all. With email you have to climb by way of all the other clutter of wanted and unwanted emails until you come across news/information you can use for the day. RSS readers or aggregators display what is subscribed to for the day and dependent on the supply can sometimes be updated a number of occasions a day.
Is RSS one thing I want? Possibly.
If you are on getaway and the flight you had scheduled has been cancelled, when would you like to obtain that out? You are planning a getaway and want to rent a compact or possibly upgrade – think it would be a good concept to know how quite a few compacts are available or if any upgrades are readily available with and added savings for getting a subscriber to their RSS feed?
With RSS the info is sent when necessary, is not buried below other messages and nonetheless will not get blocked by a semi-conscious spam filter.
My RSS reader is for various news subscriptions, notices from various sites that I go to frequently, blogs and press releases. The overly bloated e-mail box is for customers, and family members, especially for my college students who send me updates when their “investment” fund has run out of funds.
