Information sharing keeps your members API NetXtra clients are finding that their members now want to contribute more, share their knowledge and experiences, and then have this and other information delivered to them in the format of their choice. Website modules such as API's (Application Programming Interfaces) and information aggregators that use RSS feeds are becoming increasingly popular.

At netXtra we like to keep commercial, membership and not-for-profit (NFP) organisations in touch with the latest Internet strategy techniques. These can range from general website best practice methods through to techniques used in website development and design. Recently, many in the industry suspect that the likes of Google are punishing those who partake in the buying and selling of site links to improve search engine rankings. Do they have a point, and if so, do they have the right to feel aggrieved? -

This might be people sharing and/or discussing video (YouTube.com), photos (flickr.com), or just the latest news (digg.com).
