Wordpress & Real Simple Syndication (RSS)

We are in the process of developing a web presence for our Volo YUBE product, our virtual reality stationary exercise system.

One of the important parts of this presence is to initiate a web forum for our users to interact and provide us with feedback.  Now typically we'd set up a simple blogging site and link it to our web site.   But today more and more time is spent with the social sites and it has become mandatory to have a presence on these sites like facebook, linkedin and twitter.  Managing all those sites, along with the main web site, and the daily update to each has become a significant effort.

To reduce this effort we are setting up a Wordpress site as the main hub of our web presence and then using the built in RSS functionality of Wordpress to integrate our updates across all those social sites with one click of the button.

We heard a good presentation at the A2LM by the wholebraingroup on this very topic - check them out for more details.

Stay tuned for more.
