E.G. consuming wiki update alerts as email, getting blogs via email subscriptions, etc. <BR/><BR/>2) User fear of another desktop application to manage / pay attention to (assuming feedreader not fully integrated experience)<BR/><BR/>3) Challenges some feedreaders have with consuming from https sites, although I'm not certain how true this is presently. <BR/><BR/>4) Perceived more work for IT as another infrastructure component. Will we standardize on a particular feedreader, etc.?

RSS works well for blogs but I'm not too sure what else. Blogs aren't used much in most organisations. In large part this is because email is the standard for most electronic communication (badly flawed though it is), and old habits die hard.Simon Carswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261661353528274581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-58762675105965154842007-11-14T08:02:00.000+11:002007-11-14T08:02:00.000+11:00My view here is that the business users have RSS l...My view here is that the business users have RSS lower down their list of demands on us IT folks. I see it rising up the list helped by the increasing abundance of RSS readers within common email clients and RSS publication in applications. Interestingly my wife's marketers magazine has a huge section on RSS and other web 2.0 technologies this month!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-38345572236427590382007-11-14T01:58:00.000+11:002007-11-14T01:58:00.000+11:00I agree with Simon - and counsel people all the ti...I agree with Simon - and counsel people all the time (my clients are generally marketers) to use RSS for things like:<BR/><BR/>1) Getting competitive news and information - when you set up persistent searches for your competitors you'll always know exactly when they've made announcements. Who doesn't want to be more competitively aware?<BR/><BR/>2) Understanding the "swirl and twirl" of conversations about your brand. If you're not monitoring for it, you're just plain doing a disservice to your company.<BR/><BR/>3) In large, geographically dispersed organizations; team members can subscribe to updates, changes, comments and new files from their functional or project intranet areas - it's all about getting the right information to the right people at the right time. <BR/><BR/>Without having to work so hard at it. And enterprise RSS ecosystems like that from Attensa are secure, accessible and easy to manage.

If you do not have RSS content, you do not need a reader.<BR/><BR/>One goal is too move a lot of the internal spam into RSS content, removing it from the overwhelmed email system and giving a better way to be retrieved in a search by using blogs and wikis. <BR/><BR/>We are planning to implement SharePoint 2007 with its RSS content and shortly thereafter deploy an enterprise RSS system. <BR/><BR/>Part of the problem is that IT does not understand Enterprise 2.0.Doug Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599519275050428569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10124852.post-23924213247522831292007-11-13T20:33:00.000+11:002007-11-13T20:33:00.000+11:00I agree.The chicken and the egg situation is a big...I agree.<BR/><BR/>The chicken and the egg situation is a big problem.<BR/><BR/>Another aspect I can see is that this is a technology being given attention through the introduction of social software within the enterprise. Therefore its success largely depends on the adoption of these tools, rather than a strategic understanding of the need and its potential in its own right. There is far more that can be done with RSS than "just blog feeds".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
