Maybe the integration’s a little clunky at this point, but they’re making it easy to move between Buzz and emails, chat, RSS, and other media.
Odds are that the friends you communicate with over email are the same friends you’ll want to connect with on Buzz. Google Buzz is the new kid in social networking, and it hasn’t gotten a lot of love. It was rolled out a couple weeks ago with very little fanfare, showing up on Gmail users’ homepage one day.

Some time back I was doing a workshop for nonprofit communications people and one of the attendees worked for a women’s advocacy organization. As a proof of concept, we took the RSS feed of the New York Times and filtered it for keywords related to her organization’s areas of interests, I think we used Yahoo Pipes to filter, it might have been FeedRinse.com, but that’s not hard to do in many different ways. Then The Real-Time Web and Its Future , a new report from ReadWriteWeb , focused on the changing ecosystem of the Web, one that runs in real-time. “For the following report, we interviewed 50 companies, developers and executives building or leveraging real-time Web technology.

Those of you who visit pages besides the blog here at Idealware have noted that my article Using RSS Tools to Feed your Information Needs is up. If you're an old hand at RSS, then I'm hoping the article will serve as a good tool when trying to impress others of the value of syndication. RSS is a big topic, and writing the article was, in one respect, a challenge: in order to write a solid, intermediate guide to RSS use, I had to narrow the scope a bit. If you're new to Really Simple Syndication , my hope is that my guide will help you become more efficient and effective in your use of the web.

Google Reader gets a good mention in my RSS article, Using RSS Tools to Feed your Information Needs , but deserves an even deeper dive. We've established that an RSS Reader helps you manage internet information far more efficiently than a web browser can; and we've talked in the last few posts about publishing feeds to your web site.

For my last followup to my RSS article, Using RSS Tools to Feed your Information Needs , I want to discuss OPML, the standard for RSS Reader feed information, and talk a bit about why RSS, which is already quite useful, is about to become an even bigger deal. Last week, I discussed sharing research with Google Reade r; before that, filtering RSS feeds with Yahoo! Pipes , and I started with a post about integrating content with websites . Admitting that I might represent an extreme case, I subscribe to 96 feeds in Google Reader . I started with Google

I'm continuing with follow-up topics from my RSS article, Using RSS Tools to Feed your Information Needs . Last week, I discussed integrating content with websites , and this week I'm going to dive into one of the more advanced ways to work with RSS content. The article provides numerous examples of RSS sources, but all in the form of web sites, blogs and web services that offer you one or more streams of information. This gets a little geeky, but it really shows off some of the sophistication of this technology. If you want to narrow your view beyond the feeds

Image: SRD RSS, one of my favorite protocols , has been taking a beating in the blogosphere. And I agree that many people will forgo RSS in favor of the links that their friends and mentors tweet and share. Dave Winer , quite arguably the founder of RSS, and our friends at ReadWriteWeb have leapt to RSS's defense with similar points - Winer puts it best , saying: "These protocols...are Steve Gillmor, in his blog TechcrunchIT , declared it dead in May, and many others have followed suit .

Nearly every organization is feeling the pull to communicate more. Quality matters, of course, but the shear quantity and frequency of communications that most organizations seek to produce has increased dramatically -- whether its blogs, tweets, commenting, web site updates, collaborations, cross posting, press releases, or good old print brochures.
To stay abreast, your organization needs to maximize its capacity for communication. Tirza Hollenhorst, ifPeople
