| Making Home Buying Easier - New RSS Directory
for Real Estate Feeds |

While RSS feeds are continuing to streamline the
process of searching for information, searching for an RSS
feed is still difficult. For the real estate industry, however,
this process has recently become much easier. A company out
of Boston, DR Management, has created a new website directory
that brings most of the real estate feeds available into one
central location. The goal of the new site is to enable users
to find realty feeds, and real estate feeds with minimal effort.
The website is a benefit to both real estate agents and everyday
homebuyers. It connects those looking for homes in all areas
of the world to those selling them. More and more homebuyers
are using the internet to research homes for sale before even
contacting an agent. RSS real estate feeds are a good tool
to use to streamline this search process. Users can easily
find the best real estate feed to suit their needs.
The site includes homes for sale across the globe in places
such as the United States and Europe and even covers more
difficult to find areas such as Asia and Africa. In addition
to residential real estate, commercial property feeds are
also available. Other resources are feeds on topics such as
home appraisals, real estate blogs, realty podcasts, foreclosures
and realtor resources including education and jobs for realtors.
The directory can be found at http://www.realty-feeds.net/

| Using the Power of RSS |
05/23/2006

Technical users and webmasters all know what RSS
is these days, BUT do they really understand the power behind
what RSS can accomplish?
Consider this - preloading a feed to gradually release content
over time. Certainly saves time. Software developers can load
a feed up with software tips and release a new tip each day.
How about updating affiliate content on a website by adding
feed items. RSS is an important part of the puzzle but managing
feeds effectively is equally important part of the puzzle.
Use RSS and PHP Scripts to tap the power behind RSS. Check

| Understanding Fair Use |

Keep in mind that fair use is based on the belief
that the general public and media are entitled to freely use
portions of copyrighted materials. The fair use extends to
commentary on the creative works, criticism of creative works,
or even the creation of a parody that relates to the copyrighted
material. Understanding the intent of the copyright laws help
publishers interpret them.

A reader pointed out something interesting regarding
Google Trends. Take a look at the following 3 trends:

Hmmm. All of them are for the same thing RSS, Podcasting, Wiki

| Auto Detect Feeds and Create Feeds for Sites
Lacking a Feed |
05/16/2006
|
|
|
There is a new service Feeds2Be that creates
feeds for websites that don't already have one. First step
is entering the domain of the website, if it finds a feed
it returns the feed location. Only problem is it does not
work. It doesn't auto-detect any RSS feeds even on websites
that have feeds.
It prompts you to enter an email address so that it can process
your request at a later time. No thanks.

| JupiterResearch Says Spending on RSS Out
Paces Adoption |
05/16/2006
|
|
|
JupiterResearch, a leading authority on the
impact of the Internet and emerging consumer technologies
on business, finds that 63 percent of large companies plan
to syndicate content via Really Simple Syndication (RSS) by
the end of 2006. According to a new report: "RSS Comes of
Age: Budgeting, Deploying, and Measuring RSS" by JupiterResearch
Senior Analyst Greg Dowling, currently only 29 percent of
large companies with more than $50 million in annual revenues
publish content via RSS.
The growth of RSS is also highlighted by the fact that
48 percent of current RSS publishers are spending $250,000
or more to deploy and manage syndicated content. However,
JupiterResearch has also found that spending at this level
is inconsistent with the current rate of adoption.

FeedBurner limits the size of feeds and the amount

This was curious to me and then I received an email from
