How To Use Social Networks To Update Your Sites – Part 2
YouTube and the like: If a picture is worth a thousand words, can you imagine how many a video is worth? By creating a channel on YouTube, you can upload anything, technical videos, tutorials, office tour etc. Then once uploaded, you can display them through a badge like twitter thanks to the flashandburn website.
YouTube, owned by Google, is the biggest and most popular, however you will find on the web a pleiad of video sharing sites.
The aim is to achieve a website that you will build once and for good, without having to go back to the code time and time again, as everything will be updated from external sites interface. It is a way to use CMS (Content Management System) functionalities without having to spend a penny.
Now that you have a badge for your latest news, your photo gallery is embedded and your latest videos displayed, you are going to tell me: what about the content?
RSS feeds is the best way to make your life easier, in order not having to update your HTML page, then re-upload and overwrite all the time, which can be very time consuming. So my advice it to get yourself a blog (thanks to Worpress or Blogger for instance), which will be your platform to write contents in no time.
Once your content is written, you could go to the rssfeedreader website(sign up for free) and specify the RSS feed of your blog. Rssfeedreader.com allows you to customise how you would like to display your posts. It will generate a JavaScript or PHP code so you can copy and paste it. (Do not forget to name your page ‘.php’ if you use the php code).
.tel domain name: This new generation domain name allows you to update all your contact details from one place. .tel already has a lot of application making your mobile users life much easier (for iPhone and Blackberrys users), but more recently, Telnic released a new functionality making possible to embed your .tel details in your website. That means having your contact details up to date at all the time, and again without having to touch HTML code! And here we are, you now have a website which will be constantly up to date thanks to the Web 2.0 technologies
There are other video content sharing sites which are gaining popularity too. Listed here are some personal favourites which you can also apply to your social networking efforts. To name a few are Howcast, Revver, Vimeo, Viddler and Yahoo video. However the list is growing daily.
As we see further development into rich internet applications, video content will become more heavily employed. This now enhances not just the user experience but also attracts repeat visitors to your sites.
