Internet Basics: eCommerce is Like Playing House
Ever play house as a kid? You don’t even have to be in a house to play it. You just say, “The kitchen’s over there, and this is the laundry, and here’s the garage,” and so on. You make it all up in your mind, but none of it’s really there.You can add stuff whenever you want, and you can decide it’s the end of the workday even if it’s really ten o’clock in the morning.That’s what eCommerce is like.With eCommerce, a business doesn’t have to be in a traditional business-type setting or building. If they want a store, they just:·make some webpages (which are really only computer files)·upload them to a server (which is really only a

The potential of RSS is enormous. It may even pave the way for a 'Billion Channel Internet' -- where each web site is its own little broadcasting system. An interactive channel that broadcasts audio and video to all interested subscribers.

Microsoft's announcement may just be the nucleus of such a system. Many components are already in place like podcasting, broadcatching, data feeds, etc. and its not that great a leap or too fantastical to imagine such a system will exist in the very near future.

10 Effective Ways To Gain More New Ezine Subscribers
1. Swap ads with other ezine publishers. Swap sponsor, feature, classified or solo ads with publishers who have subscribers targeted to be interested in what your ezine covers. This will provide both you and the other publisher with a terrific way to get more subscriptions at no cost. When choosing ezines to swap ads with, pick ezines that offer content that your new subscribers would be interested in, but not ezines that compete directly with you. 2. Write articles. Your articles will give you a powerful way to get more new subscribers through your resource box at the end of your articles.

Nothing and a whole lot!

That's if Microsoft gets it right. First impressions appear to be very promising and all indications show a much more powerful RSS system, neatly integrated into the next version of Windows. Could this finally mean the 'coming of age' for RSS?

But what does RSS mean to the average computer user at this moment in time? Will people get RSS? Does Microsoft have an education project on their hands with RSS?

Not Really!

Does DOS mean anything to you? If you're like 95% of computer users -- probably not much. But that doesn't stop us from enjoying our computers and fully benefiting from DOS. Sometimes complete ignorance is bless.

Unless you're a techie and such technical stuff makes your heart skip a beat, knowledge of such material is not really required by the end-user. Fortunately, people don't have to understand 'HTML' to enjoy the Internet.

Likewise, knowledge of RSS is not important to the ordinary computer or Internet user. Microsoft's RSS Longhorn puts RSS where it rightfully belongs, in the background, invisible...seamlessly integrated into your computing and web browsing experience.

It will make RSS an integral element of its new operating system which has the code-name Longhorn. It will firmly place RSS into the heart of your computing experience, enriching and enhancing it in more ways than even Microsoft is probably aware of yet!

RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' and it has long been associated with blogs and blogging because they are written in RSS or XML format -- code like HTML. DOS stands for 'Disk Operating System' by the way and it's the platform for operating systems on your computer. MS-DOS is the most widely used system. Ignorance can sometimes be overrated.

Microsoft's announcement of its plans to place RSS features into its next Windows version, due out in 2006 and in servers by 2007, is truly groundbreaking . You can read more about Microsoft's RSS plans here: Understanding RSS In The Next Windows.

This takes RSS out of just browsers and RSS readers (called aggregators); and giving it much more powerful applications. Most interesting is a new set of applications -- Simple List Extensions -- allowing web sites to publish feeds containing lists such as a wish list or top 10 list. Should make David Letterman happy!

All kidding aside, for you, these RSS applications will be very beneficial and rewarding. These applications will make browsing, searching and subscribing to your favorite information or sites a lot more easier. You can now take control of your Internet, viewing and accessing the information you want to digest.

It has many personal and business applications that will take 'keeping in touch' to a new level. Calendars, events, updates, personal photo albums...can all now be syndicated with the new RSS platform.

What's really important about Microsoft's plans (I believe) is the fact that this now makes RSS legit. Lets face it, outside of blogging and a few alert online marketers, RSS is still not understood by most people.

But as stated before, people don't have to understand 'HTML' to enjoy the Internet. They don't really have to know about servers, DOS, or even ISPs to get full benefit from the web. Likewise, RSS doesn't have to be known or even understood by the majority of the people who will be using it.

But it's helpful that you do understand for you the future of RSS holds many treats and the full impact won't really be known for years. Under the Creative Commons license, RSS applications could have a far reaching impact on your computing world of the future.

Speeding Is Actually Desirable On The Internet Highway
In this day and age of convenience stores, fast food and high tech people no longer have the patience to wait for anything. We have microwaves to cook food in minutes when it used to take hours for the same results. We drive faster, travel farther, and go to the extreme on everything. Now we need all of that from our internet connection too. When the internet first began it was accessed through a phone line. This seemed to be revolutionary technology. And now the same access is like going on a long trip with Grandma driving on four flat tires.Our Internet surfing needs have increased along with the need for speed. We have to check our email and favorite we

Leadership - Inspiration
Do you inspire your staff?My experience tells me that a very small percentage of managers, presidents, and supervisors truly inspire their staff. They might build solid teams, set clear expectations and reach most of their goals, but they fail to inspire their people to reach and become better.But, if you’re building effective teams and getting adequate results, does inspiration really matter that much?The answer depends on what you want out of your organization. If you are satisfied with you current results and don’t mind replacing your best people every few years, I would put down this article and get back to managing your staff. However,

The 4 Consumer Rights
The following four rights are the basis of much of the consumer-oriented legislation that has been passed during the last thirty years. These rights also provide an effective outline of the objectives and accomplishments of the consumer movement.- The right to safetyThe consumers' right to safety means that products they purchase must be safe for their intended use, must include thorough and explicit directions for proper use, and must be tested by the manufacturer to ensure product quality and reliability. Business firms should also be aware that consumers and the government have been winning an increasing number of product-liability lawsuits agains

Is It Really This Easy to Get Free Advertising?
One of the best ways to get free advertising is to simply write articles and give them away. It’s a foreign concept to those new to online business, but you’ll really be impressed with the results.1. Why Should You Write Articles?Newsletter and website owners are desperate for content. As someone who owns a website and publishes a newsletter, I can vouch for this. Every day, I search article lists, looking for quality information that will help my readers. And, every article I use from these resources gets published with the author’s information and a link to their site.2. Why Give The Articles Away?How much would you pay to include you

RSS is also one of the more democratic elements of the web where the little guy has a say. It was more than fitting that Microsoft's RSS team met with Dave Winer (Mr. RSS to those who keep a close watch on all things RSS) and asked his opinions on these recent developments.

Ordinary Bloggers have preached the benefits of RSS for so long; the mantra was becoming a tiresome echo across the web. No one seemed to be taking RSS seriously.

In that light, it can't be understated that Microsoft's incorporation of RSS into Windows is one of those true 'turning points' that has to be acknowledged. It does change how computers and the Internet will work.

This is a great step forward in making RSS an integrated and seamless component of computers and the Internet.

At last, someone has gotten RSS right.
