One of the newest technologies available on the web is a service called syndication feeds. You will find these everywhere, on this blog, and even on pressuite.com. But what are syndication feeds? How and why do they work?
A syndication feed is a special service that allows you to keep track of the latest and newest content available as it is published. When a user subscribes to the syndication feed on pressuite.com, they will be able to keep track of the newest story even when they aren’t directly visiting the website at the time. Once they find a new pressbrief has been published, they can click on the link available in the syndication feed and be brought straight to pressuite.com where they can sign in, view the story and gain access to the high quality press ready images made available through that pressbrief. This means that as soon as your story is published, journalist who have subscribed to our “feed” will be able to learn about it instantly.
If you are using a modern browser, you can see and subscribe to these feeds directly with it, but you can also use all sorts of third party programs to subscribe to these feeds as well.
Syndication feeds work because they allow everyone instant access to notification of the newest information, even when they aren’t currently browsing your current page.
