RSS Is Sooo 1994

RSS Is Sooo 1994 07/01/2004 12:29 AM

Commerce to Drive Mass Adoption of RSS

"I had an interesting discussion with two of my co-workers yesterday. We all use FeedDemon and are getting addicted to our many RSS news feeds. We find RSS particularly valuable for monitoring client, industry news and what the media is covering in general. One of my colleagues asked me a couple of really good questions: 'Why doesn't everyone use this stuff? Why is it that when we talk about RSS we get blank stares?'

The truth is, for all the hype about RSS, it's still trapped in geekland. It's moving mainstream, but it is taking time. So, what will it take for RSS to reach a tipping point? The answer is not mass adoption by news outlets, but mass adoption by b-to-b and b-to-c e-commerce sites....

RSS today feels like the Web 1994. The geeks have long caught on. The big tech sites all have RSS feeds and increasingly, so do mainstream news outlets like Time magazine and others. Media coverage of RSS is also rising, yet overall awareness is still low. So, here's the trend to watch: commerce sites will increasingly find creative ways to use RSS feeds to alert customers and drive sales. Amazon and eBay are already on board. Brokerage sites like Schwab, bill payment/bank Web sites, retailers, major manufacturers, real estate brokers and others will all soon follow. Hopefully newspapers will recognize the opportunity here too by making their classified ads available via RSS. You can bet that MSN, Google and Yahoo are already thinking about building RSS feeds into their shopping sites.

In short, mass adoption of RSS will begin once consumers realize they can use the technology to easily find items they want to buy and sell. News via RSS, in and of itself, won't do the trick, but it certainly does help." [Micro Persuasion, via Scripting News]

It's amazing how similar this conversation is to the one I had with the reporter yesterday. Steve is right about how RSS goes mainstream - and it won't be called RSS on those sites when it does - and it's why libraries need to start providing their own information via this format.

The Geek Squad Revisited

The Geek Squad Revisited 06/22/2005 01:56 AM

Pe rplexed consumers dial up tech 'geeks': Our original post on the Geek Squad is one of our most active. This is an article about the surge in computer support jobs in general, and it includes this bit on the Geek Squad:

Best Buy last week said it hired 1,500 more employees for its "Geek Squad," a team of for-hire tech-support staffers. The retail giant now has about 8,000 staffers taking phone calls, fixing electronics brought to stores, and traveling to homes and offices to solve problems. Best Buy hopes to have 12,000 next year.

That's 4,000 most agents in the next year — get your resumes in, people.

And remember that desktop support is less likely to be offshored that programming and network administration because it's so much more helpful to have someone right there to (1) fix your problem, and (2) show you how to prevent it in the future. I'm thinking these jobs would be a little more secure than others in IT.

Seems that Best Buy has some geeks dressed like geeks that go around in a VW of all cars and make house calls to fix peoples sick computers. From the prices that Best Buy is getting for these house calls I think I need to start free-lancing. But seriously I have spent 100's of hours in people homes fixing their computers as a favor while trying to get them clued in so I will never have to come back..
Usually when I say give me your credit card so I can buy a Antivirus Software and a Firewall for their machines that have been sitting wide open on the net for several years it gets their attention. Especially when I tell them that their machines have been hacked for several years. [SFGate]
