In the online publishing industry Mr Good is a major evangelist of RSS and syndication and he has been the first to envision a set of new emerging professional roles among which the "NewsMaster" and the "Digital Information Librarian" occupy some new and very important spaces.

On the online collaboration front Robin Good has been first to motivate and encourage greater communication and exchange between vendors, technologists and final users of real-time collaboration tools. He has reviewed a very large number of real-time conferencing, collaboration and live presentation technologies. He continues to do so to provide state of the art consulting advice to emerging new companies in these industries, and to fuel the unique content of his Official Online Guide to Best Web Conferencing And Live Presentation Tools, which has become a reference service for anyone needing to effectively compare features, pros and cons of the best real-time collaboration tools available in the market. Access to the Guide is sold through a paid subscription that can include a full 600-pages PDF download.

During the past year (2004) Mr Good has also been the organizer/presenter of several live online events which have showcased cutting edge technology, prestigious names (Howard Rheingold, Ray Ozzie, Jay Cross, Nancy White to name a few) and unique review of specific technologies along with in-depth analysis of key industry trends.

He is a talented visual designer and has trained hundreds of UN communication officers in how to best communicate visually with tools like PowerPoint.
