Little About RSS and Social Bookmark

By: Mandeep

Social Bookmark

Social bookmarking is a way of storing links that you like, and sharing these ‘collaborative opinions’ with other people.Adding social bookmark links to your blog or web site makes it easy for readers to save and share your content.

Social Bookmark Button

The social bookmark button is a button that you can place on your website that contains the most bookmark services so visitors can easily add your site to their favorite bookmark service. Adding the bookmark button to your site is a sure way to have your site bookmarked by one of the many social bookmark services or the users browser, and receive more returning and new visitors as result of it.

To incorporate the Social Bookmark Button within your website, create an account on Addthis and login to get your social bookmark button code.

RSS Subscribe

Syndicating your own website content is a great way to provide information to your readers with little or no effort. Using RSS, your updated content is delivered to individuals who have subscribed to your feed automatically. RSS is a simple XML-based system that allows users to subscribe to their favorite websites. Using RSS, webmasters can put their content into a standardized format, which can be viewed and organized through RSS-aware software or automatically conveyed as new content on another website.

Most people are interested in many websites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule. Examples of such websites are news sites, community and religious organization, information pages, product information pages, medical websites, and weblogs. Repeatedly checking each website to see if there is any new content can be very tedious.

Email notification of changes was an early solution to this problem. Unfortunately, when you receive email notifications from multiple websites they are usually disorganized and can get overwhelming, and are often mistaken for spam.

RSS is a better way to be notified of new and changed content. Notifications of changes to multiple websites are handled easily, and the results are presented to you well organized and distinct from email.

RSS Subscribe Button

The RSS subscribe button is a button that you can place on your blog that contains many RSS subscribe services, so visitors can easily add your site to their favorite RSS subscribe service. Adding the RSS subscribe button to your site is a sure way to have your site subscribe by one of the many RSS subscribe services or the users browser, and receive more returning and new visitors as result of it.

Feeds are typically linked with the word “Subscribe”, an orange rectangle , or with the letters RSS or XML . Many news aggregators publish subscription buttons for use on Web pages to simplify the process of adding news feeds.

To generate RSS feed go to Feedburner
