The article below is interesting in that it does call out a dark truth - enterprise adoption of feed syndication tools has been lacking. However, The first concept to understand is that the key focus point for Enterprise RSS is not the reader - it's the feed syndication platform (the server back-end) that provides centralized administration, feed management and other services (e.g., lot of intranets are "content poor" (why subscribe However, the article disappoints because it gives too much credit to feed readers as the reason. I

The consumption of Enterprise RSS feeds and the creation of the content in the feeds are both at fault here. strongly agree that those thinking about application design, information architecture, search, collaboration, portals, and so on need to think about feed syndication as another communication channel and user experience around feeds as the build and deploy systems. You cannot assume that people will interact with content only on the web site or within the application A lot of great comments over at the main article: R.I.P Enterprise RSS .

Since I write for multiple blogs and provide blog consulting services to businesses, my work flow in very content heavy. decided the three main sections are one: content monitoring, two: content collecting, assembling, and creation, and three: content publishing and archiving. Step two then reaches into both steps one and step three for new content. This is the second part of a five part series on how enterprise 2.0 tools can work for an enterprise of one, myself in this case.

Google announced an open-source effort to improve the real-time notification capabilities of feed syndication: The hub efficiently fetches the published feed and multicasts the new/changed content out to all registered subscribers.

That’s why this week’s Required Reading at FreshNetworks is a great presentation from Lee Aase , Manager, Syndication and Social Media at Mayo Clinic. Of much more importance is how you use it, the way in which you encourage people to engage with you and the quality of the content, comments and conversations that you have on your site.

They're taking content that lives elsewhere and not just mashing it up, but transforming it into something new. I've started to think this approach might be part of the next generation of social media services--tools that take advantage of data portability in new ways. We talk about data portability all the time in terms of newly-enabled distribution, and beyond a doubt, distribution is a huge benefit of widgets, APIs, standards, and syndication. But there's I realized recently that several of my favorite things on the web have something in common. Some of my favorite tools go

A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web Authored by Joseph Smarr , Marc Canter , Robert Scoble , and Michael Arrington September 4, 2007 We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically: Ownership of their own personal information, including: their own profile data the list of people they are connected to the activity stream of content they create; Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external

Content owned by a user can be shared among these via permissions or syndication. Identity services A unified data repository means an individual user can centrally manage her public-facing identity, and also create a more robust data picture for the business . Interfaces from the platform access custom degrees of information contained in the central identity. Quality algorithms User-generated ratings have important utility, but translating them directly to measure “quality” is fallible. They also give the business a powerful view into how people

What I hope it does do is provide a framework for thinking about the mobile space that makes it easier to uncover opportunities to create real value for real people. I do think there are some issues unique to mobile that go beyond form factor, device compatibility, and the challenges of adapting content. And the more things you can accomplish untethered from your desk chair, the more time you'll spend that way. And the mobile device has a different relationship to content: Regardless of the advances in the browsing experienced introduced by the iPhone, the mobile device will not soon
