Welcome

Introducing this new tool for information distribution: The RBlog-- an RSS Weblog.

What is RBlog?

RBlog is a fusion of the RSS and the Web log concepts. You can log in from anywhere, add, edit and remove news information. Almost anyone can come to this website and get an RBlog in minutes. This information can be picked up by others-- web portals, wireless devices, news sites, et cetera. In addition, we provide visitors to the RBlog site with the ability to do two other things:

• Search our feeds for information.
• Build a digest of information to suit your needs.

RBlog is a fusion of two good technologies that each have their strength: RSS is good for Information delivery; Blogs are powerful because of their "create anywhere anytime" approach. RBlog allows you to publish news of any sort even if you don't have a website.

Blogs available as RSS are not uncommon. RBlog is an RSS Feed created with a blog-styled tool.

What is RSS?

RSS (Rich Site Summary) provides news feeds. It was developed by Netscape in 1999, RSS is an XML-based format that allows web developers to describe and syndicate web site content. Using RSS, you create a data feed that supplies headlines, links, and article summaries from a web site. Other data destinations can incorporate them into their pages automatically.

What is a Blog?

A "blog" is a Web log-- a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible journal for an individual. Blogs are stream-of-consciousness style documents. Users can put in minutae from what they're doing at that moment (apart from typing into a web log) to current events as they happen.

This accessible-anywhere, inputable-anywhere quality makes it a powerful information tool.
