This is how I’m keeping track of what the buzz is about at the World Economic Forum meeting this week in Davos, Switzerland – tracking Twitter comments on the hashtags #davos and #davos09. I’ll jump in to the Twitter Search stream that you see above from time to time. I’ve subscribed to an RSS feed [...]

In mid December, the RSS feeds for all my blogs including this one that have been managed by FeedBurner since 2004were auto-migrated over to Google. This is part of the changes that started happening earlier last year following Google’s acquisition of FeedBurner in 2007. As I wrote last month, the migration was a smooth process [...]

Marshall Kirkpatrick writes a very interesting post at ReadWriteWeb entitled “RIP Enterprise RSS.” The essence of his argument is that demand for RSS simply never arose and that the market is over. I’m in the UK and largely agree with Marshall’s view that enterprise RSS has died although I suggest that an actual birth never [...]

Last weekend, all my RSS feeds that have been managed by Feedburner over the past four years were auto-migrated to Google.

Last weekend, I wrote about essential PR blogs to subscribe to in the PR Network that David Jones created, hoping that it might lead more PR bloggers to join that network (it didn’t really). It’s a great list of some of the best thinking and writing anywhere from many in the PR business across North [...]

FeedDemon – the best desktop RSS feed reader for Windows, in my view – will soon be out in a new version 2.8. As is typical in much software development these days, beta versions of the new release are publicly available for testing or trying out, always with the caveat that they are beta versions [...]

People often ask me which PR blogs I read. Saying ‘a lot’ isn’t what they expect to hear but that’s what I do – I read a lot of PR blogs. Or rather, I subscribe to a lot of PR blogs in my RSS reader via an aggregated feed of blogs that are members of [...]

If you want to find blogs that cover advertising, marketing and PR, it’s never been easier thanks to the selfless work of members of the online community. The first lists of PR blogs I found were created by Constantin Basturea way back in 2003/04. Today you have lists such as the Advertising Age Power 150, [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve probably got a range of options for people to subscribe to your blog’s RSS feed. In addition to your main feed, often via FeedBurner, you might offer little chicklets or links that enable people to get your content via their preferred service such as Yahoo, Netvibes, Bloglines, etc. I have [...]
