RSS, or Really Simple Syndication as it is
generally known, refers to a family of file formats that is used for web
syndication. It is normally used to automatically deliver newly posted content
from websites – including forums, blogs and news sites, among others - to its
readers. However, RSS is also useful for other things aside from delivering
written content thanks to “enclosures” or media attachments. Wherein in its most
basic use, people who are subscribed to RSS feeds gets updates from their
favorite websites, media enclosures to RSS feeds is like attachments in emails
sent between people. Files are “enclosed” in RSS items and then automatically
delivered to the RSS subscribers. These attachments could be an image, an audio
file, a video, and even an application or program.Examples of RSS feeds with enclosures are
podcasts (spoken content), Vlogs (video), MP3 Blogs (music files), and appcasts
(programs).
Podcasting is perhaps one of the most famous of
the mentioned uses of RSS for content delivery. It is the method of distributing
audio content by attaching audio files of spoken content to the RSS feed.
Podcast’s popularity is helped in part by the very device on which the term was
based – the iPod. Podcast is a combination of iPod and Broadcast. In its early
stages, podcasts allowed users of handheld audio players such as the iPod to
automatically download spoken content from independent internet-radio talk show
publishers to their computers, and then listen to them on their iPods at a later
time. The capability to “postpone“ listening to your favorite radio talk shows
proved to be a very attractive feature and soon became a huge success.
This new-found way of content delivery quickly
evolved paving the way for additional multi-media file formats to be used as
media enclosures. Image enclosures to RSS feeds opened a window of possibilities
for sharing photos over the internet. Photo-sharing sites, such as Flickr,
featured RSS feeds for people’s photos. Flickr’s RSS feed enabled people to
subscribe to other peoples’ photo albums so that their favorite photographer’s
latest shots or friend’s latest vacation pictures are automatically delivered to
you as they are posted. Avid fans of online web comics also benefit from image
enclosures to RSS. A reader can subscribe to a web comic’s RSS feed and daily
updates are automatically delivered to the readers’ RSS syndicator of choice.
Video enclosures to RSS, on the other hand, gave
rise to an evolution of a type of blog called the video blog, which is sometimes
referred to as Vlogs. Video blogs uses videos as its primary content and is
usually accompanied by a supporting text, image, or additional data to provide
context to the content. Vblogs are slowly rising in popularity in thanks again
to the introduction of this time, video-capable iPod.
Appcasting is a type of RSS feed wherein there
are attached executable programs to regularly deliver new versions of software
programs. Appcasting, though not as mainstream as podcasting and video blogs, is
important and very significant, especially for those in the IT industry.

This may come as a surprise to you... but if you promote any affiliate
program on ClickBank (and other affiliate networks), more than likely
you are losing money and being ripped off. I recently ran a split
test mailing. On half of my list I used a program to "cloak" the affiliate
site I was promoting, and on the other half of the list I did not.
