What is RSS


BackinSkinnyJeans_rssforoprah 
What is RSS and why do you care?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds are an XML format that was created to syndicate news, and be a means to share content on the Web.
Say you want to read updates from more than two dozen sites weekly. Having a way to subscribe to those sites from a central location, instead of needing to visit them individually, is very convenient. I read about 232 sites and blogs, and pull the questions from LinkedIn for three categories.
You can also syndicate Google Alerts to an RSS reader, for example, and save your inbox for real correspondence. I also have a service that tells me if someone is reposting my feed, which is how I know when sites scrape my content.
As a publisher, you want to offer a way for people to subscribe to your content -- and offering a feed along with an option to receive it in the form of email, is the easiest way to do that.
Despite the link sharing taking place on various social networks -- Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google+ -- feeds are still a major way to publish and pull content.

Kerala Tourism| Your moment is waiting





This promotional film for Kerala Tourism can be considered as a refreshing deviation from its usual line of communication. The promotional film titled ‘your moment is waiting’, whether you like it or not, is worth watching.
Kochi based Stark Communications, which has been handling the Kerala Tourism brand for almost two decades, has developed this promotional film, and the credit mainly goes to the renowned ad film maker Prakash Varma.
Well, Kerala has been promoted as ‘God’s own country’ (the credit for coining this much-used tagline too goes for Stark) and almost all the campaigns for KT has pivoted around it. It’s true that Kerala is rich with natural scenery and picture-perfect destinations. Backwaters, paddy fields, Ayurveda- indeed Kerala evokes all these images in the minds of a tourist. However, at some point the frequent use of this imagery in usual communication track seemed a bit tiresome. This commercial too is rich with such imagery, but in a different communication style- it’s bold.

Axe |Get dirty.

Advertising Axe shower gel.  As usual, all revolves around sex.  And as usual approach is a little humorous writers, but very thoughtful.  At first glance we see a broken curtain from the shower.  Next to each mesh urwanego but women bear the name.  Creative imagination of the public works in this case better than any picture - everyone who will focus their attention on such advertising will think about it, what did the owner of that shower.  Which is the owner do not see.  For this perverse, ambiguous password promoting the products of this brand some time ago.  Password: Axe.  Get dirty.  The idea is simple in my opinion, and that simple ideas are usually the best, this ad is to me quite successful.  Is perhaps not spectacular, but still talks about sex without showing it.  As usual, Axe does not disappoint.
