Today is RSS Awareness Day

Written by Kevin Muldoon from Blog Themes Club

Susan Gunelius from Marketing Blurb reminded you all a few weeks ago not to forget RSS Awareness Day on May 1st. Did you forget?

What Is RSS Awareness Day?

RSS awareness day is a campaign from Daily Blog Tips to try and spread the word to everyone about the benefits of using RSS. I think this is a good idea as even though all major news websites have RSS feeds, the general public has been incredibly slow at subscribing to them. Mainly because they don’t appreciate the benefits of using RSS.

I encourage you all to tell your members about RSS Day to bring more attention to this campaign and who knows, you might convince some of your readers to subscribe to your feed too

I subscribe to Daily Blog Tips, so I may have heard about RSS Day before some of you.

Many people don’t use RSS because not only do they not understand the whys and wherefores of doing so, they don’t use feed readers. I have experienced a huge increase in RSS use for my blogs (and my client’s blogs) since the option to subscribe via email was offered.
