A Feed Is Born

Use RSS to promote yourself

by Juned on July 3rd, 2007

RSS or Really Simple Syndication was designed to simplify things , no pun intended. As the amount and scope of information increases there is a need to efficienty managed it, the alternative would be to drown in a river of information, which would lead to alienation from the Internet. At least this was the initial idea a, data stream of information handpicked by the user to enter his world. Information provided for by a blogger, a newsppaper, website and any other entity on the Web. No fuss and no information overload. The ability of RSS to handle and deliver information almost instantenously has led to other uses. Ziki , offers to host an on-line resume for free and mashes all your personal rss feeds into one. Enabling the viewer to see all important information about you that is on the Web. And all of these data were chosen by you and it only take a few minutes to set it up. As Ziki said on their website:

Ziki allows you to compile all your relevant information – links to other social and professional profiles, resumes, blogs, personal Web sites, online portfolios and more. Creating a ziki opens visibility to potential employers, partners, friends and family who can now easily find you, learn who you are, what you do, or what you’ve been up to! Whether you’re looking to promote a freelance service, a professional online profile, or a centralized page to share photos, home videos and blog posts with family and friends, Ziki is for you!

What interested me in this service is that it allows you to compile all important information about you whether it is a web page or an rss feed. And then allowing you to repackage it so that it appears on your personal page in a near seamless process. Out there and across the Web scattered between dynamic and static pages are bits of information done by or about you. And by using RSS you can put all of these together and come up with a feed that truly reflects you. Quite good as an on-line resume and a portfolio. By the way here is the Ziki page I built, no pictures yet. There were some touch and go moments, mostly due to the mercurial nature of the Internet connection.
