Yesterday I challenged you to try RSS for a week. But you might be wondering about how to really apply it to your work (at home, though these apply for office work as well). From WebProNews comes 11 Practical Uses for RSS in Business.
- Use Your Own Content
- News Headlines
- Upcoming Events
- Thoughts/Commentary
- Articles
- New Products
- Weekly/Monthly Specials
- Newsletters
- New Links
- New Members
- Ticker RSS Feeds
- Using Content From OTHER Web Sites
The list was written for how you can use RSS to promote your business, but turn it on its ear. Look at these uses for gathering information. Getting headlines, getting content, getting inspiration, getting an edge. You might think RSS is still an "edge technology" used only by the uber geek. In some ways you are right, but the content providers are on the bandwagon and have seen the tangible benefit of offering information in this compact format.
I just finished reading my feeds this morning, and it’s almost time for a re-read as us West Coast folks have finished our morning coffee, and have picked up updates on several topics I’m interested in and about 6 articles that will become blog posts. Now, imagine if you could spend less time reading e-mail and more time doing your job. Imagine having the information you need to do your job dropped into your lap. Yeah, thought so.
Sure, I know that RSS isn’t just for teleworkers. I just find that teleworkers have a greater challenge to pull and digest information.
So what are you waiting for?
