15.  Technological innovations are having an impact on the way PR is
practiced.
 The world has become smaller and people can communicate with each
other with a speed and ease that wasn't possible just a few years ago.
 Internet, blogs, forums, wikis and other online possibilities have changed
the speed and the process of communication.
 This is the age of New PR

16. A new ray of hope, beyond the News media…
 Till a few years back newspapers, radio and TV were the only mediums of mass
communications, not anymore.
 Today you have a plethora of non-traditional media options to choose from…
 You can actually decide the content too… unlike in the case of newspapers where
you could not tell them what to publish or what not to…
 Here you are no less than the media owner… who decides what, why, where, when
and how
 Traditional News has a shelf life of 36 hours – if noticed at all
 You can’t bank on media and the business press to always cover each and every
event of yours, unless the stock market catches a cold, each time you sneeze
 But your…customers and prospects need to be regularly informed.
It’s the age of direct and informal communications

MySpace
 Youtube-- a video sharing website, founded in Feb 2005, using Adobe Flash
technology to stream videos to viewers, was bought by Google in 2006 for $1.65
billion. It serves over 100 million videos per month. With over 50 million users
worldwide, more than 65,000 new videos are uploaded daily.
 Among various new media platforms offering videos, Video on Demand (VOD) will
be the major growth driver for IPTV services. The impact of VOD will lead
consumer electronics manufactures to develop IP-enabled products and slowly
VOD will be served through IP-enabled TV. The rise in the VOD service will
ultimately lead to slowdown of DVD sales.
 The overall global VOD market will grow from less than $2 billion in 2006 to a
whooping $13 billion in 2010 with nearly 150 million active VOD subscribers
worldwide.

54.  A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of files, distributed over the Internet using
syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers. A podcast
is a specific type of webcast, like 'radio‘. The host or author of a podcast is often called a
podcaster. The term "podcast" is named after Apple's portable music player, iPod-- a "pod"
refers to a container of some sort, and "cast" to the idea of broadcasting.
 A podcast is a collection of files (usually audio and video) residing at a unique web feed
address. People can "subscribe" to this feed by submitting the feed address to an aggregator
(like iTunes - software that runs on the consumer's computer). When new "episodes" become
available in the podcast they will be automatically downloaded to that user's computer.
Unlike radio or streaming content on the web, podcasts are not real-time. The material is
pre-recorded and users can check out the material at their leisure, offline.
 Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a
podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated,
subscribed to, and downloaded automatically, using an aggregator or feed reader capable of
reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom.
 Certain podcasts, can even be live and interactive. Dozens of podcast enthusiasts can be on
at once, with the "host" being able to control their audience in the same way a radio host can.
54

55.  Podcasting and Videocasting form the basis of new business models,
giving you the opportunity to expand your product base to include these
formats with higher perceived value.
 Podcasting (delivering internet audio content) and Videocasting
(delivering internet video content) allows you to communicate via rich
media messages, not only making your content more attractive and
powerful, but also enabling a more personal conversation with your
audiences.
 Customer education & support – Interesting possibilities for product
demonstration and customer support are now possible by using online
video to demonstrate everything you need to convey to your customers.
55

56. 56

57. RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated
content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS
document, called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a
summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS
makes it possible for people to keep up with their favourite web sites in an
automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
RSS content can be read using software called a "feed reader" or an
"aggregator." The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into
the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the
subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds
regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.
57

58.  Getting your internet content delivered to end-users.
 Improving your online visibility and generating more traffic /
visitors for you.
 Powering your internet public relations through RSS
conversations.

advertisers
58

59. Marketers today are heavily depending on e-mail to communicate with their customers,
build relationships with them and sell to them.
 Most of the E-mail content is blocked by spam filters. Even if it is delivered, the
recipients mostly don’t read it. Chances are that more than half of the e-mail
subscribers aren't getting your messages or aren't reading them.
 If more than half the subscribers aren't getting the content, that's more than 50%
of lost sales and relationship opportunities. How much would these losses amount
to in a few years?
 Imagine the negative impact this is having on your follow-up sales and after-
purchase relationship building activities?
 This is the reality of internet marketing
59

60. RSS, as a content delivery channel for reaching end-users, has created several new
publishing and marketing opportunities, unlike any other existing content delivery
channel.
 High frequency content updates, even on a daily or hourly basis. No more need to hold on your
important messages, news and other content for a week to include it in your website --- with RSS you
can update your content as often as you want/need, and your subscribers won't mind.
 Touch and feel your clients in the virtual world: Rich media personalizes the internet experience and
gives your company a distinguishable face, at the same time providing you with a media platform to
convey your message that it is easier to understand, see and feel.
 Appcasting goes one step further, giving you the ability to deliver critical software updates and patches
to your existing clients, without them having to visit your web site every week to see if the much needed
update is already available or not.
 Product news, releases and updates are now finally possible in an easy-to-consume way. Using RSS,
you can provide your customers or prospects with simple tools to create their own product feeds,
through which they'll be immediately notified when new products that precisely match their interests
are available.
60

61.  Content delivery channel for communicating with end-users and delivering content
 Promotional/visibility tool- increases web traffic by improving your search engine rankings,
generating traffic from new RSS specific sites and getting your content published on other
sites. Improved visibility enforces your brand and generates more credibility for your
company.
 Content syndication forms the basis of RSS conversations, which further spreads your reach
throughout the internet and serves as a strong PR platform.
 RSS as a sales platform for your own products generate income.
 RSS radars also generate additional visibility, through improved search engine rankings, and
generate new subscribers for your RSS feeds.
 RSS advertising you can increase the reach of all of the above activities.
 All of the above will create advertising revenue and create a new source of income
61

62.  MarketingVOX is using RSS to deliver internet marketing news to their readers as it
becomes available. Instead of having to wait to receive all the news in a single e-mail
newsletter, RSS users get them as soon as they are ready.
 Amazon.com is using RSS to announce their bestsellers and to help their users keep track
of releases they are most interested in.
 FindSavings.com uses RSS to deliver savings coupons and related information.
 Lockergnome uses RSS to provide visitors with the latest download and relevant software.
Yet again other companies are using RSS to deliver product updates and patches directly to
their customers, just as they become available.
 Content publishers are using RSS to deliver audio content, such as .mp3 interviews and
even “radio” shows.
 Textamerica.com allows people to post pictures, videos & text from their mobile phones
and then make this content available via RSS feeds.
62

63.  Some companies are using RSS to deliver whitepapers and other educational content.
 One company uses RSS as a consulting billing awareness tool.
 Many internet publishers are using RSS to deliver their newsletters.
 RSS can be used for internal communications, team-working and other needs.
 RSS auto responders with scheduled messages can be created to keep in constant
“marketing” contact with your prospects and slowly get them to the point of purchase.
 Provide limited-access content to your customers, employees, team members and even
investors, without fearing other unwanted eyes.
 Provide your customers with easy access to software updates
 Press releases via RSS or even better deliver some of your releases as video comments,
interviews or statements from your company managers or owners?
RSS can deliver any kind of content to practically any target audiences
