RSS as a Communications Medium

Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2005 10:55 AM
I've been getting e-mails from Charlie Cook on business marketing for about a year.  Usually they are great, but you know, I often don't get to read them and wind up deleting them.  Charlie finally has a blog and is posting his same excellent content in this far more accessable format.
 
 
Accessable?  But wait, instead of getting an e-mail I have to visit his website?  That doesn't seem like a time-saver to me.  You're right, it isn't.  If you're visiting his website.  So don't.  Huh?  If you haven't already, jump onto RSS aggregator bandwagon now.  This site is a great one to start with.  Personally I use Lektora (disclosure, I personally have a close working relationship with the author of Lektora), but Bloglines and NewsGator online are also easy ones to get started with.  I've heard Onfolio is good, but I haven't tried it.  If you use Firefox, Sage would be my second choice after Lektora, in my book.
