RSS Awareness Day - Are You Using RSS Feeds Yet?
May 1st, 2008 - Written by Gyutae Park in Internet MarketingLearn more about Internet marketing strategy by subscribing to my RSS feed - free and updated daily!
Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips had a great idea and decided to coin May 1st as the official RSS Awareness Day. Not only is this effective link bait (heck I’m linking to his site here aren’t I?) but it promotes a good cause as well.
For those of you that don’t know, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a format used to deliver updated content from websites via feeds. The main benefit of RSS is that it enables people to stay connected with their favorite websites without having to visit them. All they have to do is subscribe to the feeds using a feed reader like Google Reader. Updated posts and articles are then delivered in real time. It’s actually a very powerful tool that benefits everyone involved - marketers, bloggers, site owners, and end users.
Are you using RSS? I suggest you subscribe to the Winning the Web RSS feed and get started.

Entrecard posting 300 a day is hard but i figure if i can get people to drop me back a card
that gives me more ec and webmaster traffic and possibly a review.
Thats a nice idea. RSS day.
RSS is a great technology.
Funny I should stumble on this today; subscribing to RSSs for me is a quick way to find the blogs I like so I can comment, bookmark posts, etc. without having to spend hours googling content I am looking for.
P.S. I am subscribing to your blog today.
