So when you are at your computer, do you push or pull? Okay, now
you can get your mind out of the gutter.
I'm referring to communication on the Internet. There are
essentially two ways to move information on the web.
There is push technology and there is pull technology. E-mail
can be labeled as a form of push technology. How?
Let's say you subscribe to an ezine or electronic newsletter.
Well the publisher sends (pushes) it out to the subscribers via
e-mail on a set schedule.
And once your e-mail is out there ... well, you know the rest.
As we all know, the growing problem with sp^am has caused our
inboxes to be so clogged we might miss or even delete that ezine
from our favorite publisher...
.. or that product inquiry from a customer, a new product
announcement, and an important notice from an affiliate upline.
Then we have our ISPs. They have tightened filters to the point
that we are not even getting all our messages.
The frustration that ezine publishers, website owners, downline
managers and many other business people are experiencing just
trying to stay-in-touch is unprecedented.
The solution? Pull technology. That's right. As many are
discovering, e-mail is out and channels are in... big time.
Channeling (pull technology) eliminates all those issues for
both subscribers and publishers alike. Listen to these strong
benefits.
Subscribers are in total control of when and what information
they receive WITHOUT giving out their e-mail or any personal
information at all. Plus there's no op^ting in and out.
Publishers are also in control because they no longer have to
deal with all the hassles of publishing via e-mail. They simply
add an item to their channel, click a button and all their
subscribers receive it immediately.
I personally like the sound of this, both as a publisher and
subscriber. Think about it. The potential to start unclogging
our inboxes and receive what we want when we want it. It's
growing on me.
Maybe, we should start chanting, or writing the following
slogan: "Don't push me. I'm now channeling." Well, it's a start
anyway.
