Link RSS: RSS without the blog
The other day I posted about FeedXS, in the comments James Corbett points to Link RSS.
Now this is really a feed without a blog or a public text space…create as many feeds as you like.
All you have is an admin space of all your feeds and the items you have posted, but there is no published content, people can only read your content in an RSS Reader, or if it is re-syndicated into a blog as the main body or on the sidebar…or if the feed has been converted to IM, SMS, email, etc
…the point is there is no published version of your content, only a feed version.
So how do people find out about your feed, how do you promote it?
I guess it can be submitted to an engine or directory just like any other feed…but it hasn’t got the opportunity to be promoted on a published version of itself.
But I guess this is the point, otherwise you’d start a blog and use the blog feed…so Link RSS is handy if you don’t want to get involved with a blog, and just want to publish under the radar…great idea to set up as messages to send your friends.
[ADDED: What I like about James’s comment is that he takes the concept of publishing content without it having a public presentation space (eg. a blog) even further…gee I didn’t explain that well.
What I mean is, it is similar to email where content is sent but you need a personal client to read it, it isn’t displayed in a public space or repository, like a blog.
James mentions, why not publish stuff from your phone via a feed, whoever subscribes to this feed can read it on their phone, or RSS Reader, or RSS to IM, or RSS to email, etc…this way it is open, you can send stuff via a feed that can be read by any client that reads feeds…in this case let’s just attach feeds to anything, objects even.
