In a world where the total content of the Internet doubles every other day it’s impossible to keep with the Jones’s or anyone else for that matter. The use of RSS technology makes it possible to narrow the field down somewhat but even this still leaves masses of information through which you need to trawl each day or inevitably leave to one side, never to be read.
The easiest way to control the flow of information is by using RSS feeds that let you know when a particular website or publication has released new and relevant information. With a browser facility you can identify areas of interest and topics you are keen to be kept up to date on, then are told of the new content by email.
Alerts are another way of tracking information, Google alerts allows you to insert keywords or phrases that you are paying attention to and again you will be updated when any additional content is generated.
This is fine if you specialize in a narrow field or a niche market but if your interests are far and wide, you will still find hundreds of new daily pages for you to read.
Google Reader has now enables you to be updated on pages that do not have an RSS feed attached. By adding a websites URL into the subscription box, you are kept informed whenever they update the page. This will allow you to keep in touch with companies home pages should they update with new product ranges, discounts or event dates. For further advice, ask Forescene creative solutions.
