MAKINO MEDIA SITE NOW HAS RSS
Makino Media Site Now has RSS
Enables anyone to have a stream of updated Makino news
MASON, OHIO--July 2008--How many Internet webpage bookmarks do you check on a regular basis on
your computer? If you're like most people, it's many, and it takes a
long time to get through them all. There is a much more efficient way
to comb through the news and information you are interested in--RSS.
RSS allows you to have live, constantly updated bookmarks that you can
quickly and easily scroll through, instead of visiting the news
source's site each day.
Makino has updated its media website (www.makino.com/media) to include RSS feeds, providing a live stream of information as it is released.
"RSS
is something that newspapers and magazines have been doing for a while,
but media resource websites are just starting to embrace the trend,"
said Mark Rentschler, Makino's marketing manager. "We found that
customers and publication editors are not only using this tool, but
they're relying on it to get information in a timely and efficient
manner. So adding RSS to our media website was the logical step."
To access Makino's media website RSS feed, visit www.makino.com/media and click RSS, or you can insert the RSS URL directly into your aggregator or RSS reader.
What is RSS?
RSS
stands for Real Simple Syndication, and is essentially a text-only
stream that can come to your computer in real-time, without the need to
visit a particular website.
Perphaps the
most popular way to use RSS is with "live bookmarks," found in most
internet browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. When you visit
a site wtih RSS, you'll see an icon to the right of the URL in the
address bar. Click the icon, and the browser will allow you to add a
bookmark. Click that bookmark and a stream of news comes up, allowing
you to glance at all the news at once or click on a particular story to
view more.
Another way people use RSS is
with an aggregator. An aggregator allows you to gather all your RSS
feeds in one spot, typically on a website like Google Reader, My Yahoo, Bloglines, or iTunes, which also allows you listen to music while you're reading your news.
