Automated Home RSS Feeds

Thursday, 12 March 2009

RSS

RSS feeds are a great way to catchup on all your favourite sites. We recommend Google Reader which makes it fun to trawl your feeds from any comuter or even your phone. At Automated Home we offer three smart home RSS Feeds which we just moved onto the FeedBurner system. This gives us better control of our RSS, improved formatting and should also allow us to monitor subscribers better. Read on for the new URLs and the buttons to add Reader...

Some Forums Really Sadden Me

Wednesday, 2 July 2008

I made my way to a well known Audio Visual forums site to post a question on my AV Receiver dilemma. While I was there I noticed a thread on the AlertMe system where potential purchasers were looking for information on the alarm. As we have pretty much the only proper in-depth review of the system plus a podcast with the company itself I posted those links.

This morning my posts have been deleted off the forum in question. This has happened to me before at the same site and is apparently because I'm posting links to my site without paying them to advertise!! Posting links on forums is normal practice, and with around 5 posts in my three year membership I can hardly be classed as any sort of spammer. It's a hugely successful site and it's hard to believe they feel threatened by our little corner of the interweb. They can of course live without links to our site (no matter how highly relevant they are). And of course we can live with out them, but this sort of pathetic draconian censorship only does their members a disservice.
