Comments on: PodCamp Philly: What AWeber Learned and Shared http://www.aweber.com/blog/seminars/aweber-at-podcamp-philly.htm Email Marketing Tips by AWeber Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:16:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Marc Kline http://www.aweber.com/blog/seminars/aweber-at-podcamp-philly.htm#comment-15143 Marc Kline Tue, 18 Sep 2007 13:14:03 +0000 http://www.aweber.com/blog/seminars/aweber-at-podcamp-philly.htm#comment-15143 Rob, It is true that RSS is a transport medium, much like email is. It is a technical tool to deliver information. The problem is that it doesn't yet (nor does it appear to soon) have the online saturation/common use to make it available to the everyday online user. Yet, often times we see RSS being used *in place of* email as a delivery tool for media, whether it is to deliver a podcast, blog articles, and so on. Our recommendation is to provide *both* RSS and email as a medium for delivery, in order broadcast the media to the widest audience. Rob,

The thing is that there is just the risk here that the terminology might become a little confusing. As far as I can see RSS is a transport medium, which describes how to find some information. The information might be a Blog, an article or an audio file. So I guess from my viewpoint, I see RSS as a distribution medium, since RSS syndicates are either fed with, or periodically look for media from authors. Isn’t the Podcast the media being broadcast, and RSS a tool for delivering it? Thanks Marc, for an interesting article on Podcasting.

They really helped make it happen for us. We're so happy that you learned a lot at Podcamp. At my first Podcamp, I found a group of ultra-passionate people that seemd to take my breath away with their dedication and enthusiasm. I am proud to call many of them close friends now. I'm glad you had the same first experience! Thanks again so much for your participation- it meant the world to us.
