What are feeds? I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them.
Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into "widgets," "gadgets," mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.
Why is This a Good Thing?
Subscribing to feeds makes it possible to review a large amount of online content in a very short time. Feeds permit instant distribution of content and the ability to make it "subscribable." Advertising in feeds overcomes many of the shortcomings that traditional marketing channels encounter including spam filters, delayed distribution, search engine rankings, and general inbox noise.
How do I read feeds?
If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. Today, there are more than 2,000 different feed reading applications, also known as "news aggregators" (for text, mostly) or "podcatchers" (for podcasts). There are even readers that work exclusively on mobile devices. Some require a small purchase price but are tops for ease-of-use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the feed "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "Feed reader" or "Feed aggregator" at popular search sites will yield many results. A handful of popular feed readers are listed at the bottom of this page. A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications). If you prefer, you can use an online, web-based service to track and manage feeds. Online services give you the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you can find a web browser. Also, upgrades and new features are added automatically.

About Us
Algaeventure Systems (AVS) was founded in 2008 with a mission to take the cost barriers out of growing and processing algae, and in the process discovered a technology that will revolutionize dewatering and other solid-liquid separations. The key innovation, nicknamed HDD for harvesting, dewatering and drying, radically reduces the energy required to separate valuable solids from dilute solutions. Beyond replacing incumbent separation methods, AVS technologies are poised to unlock the potential of algae for a range of valuable products, such as pharmaceuticals, nutriceuticals and fuels, as well as enable new opportunities, including novel remediation techniques and a wide range of biomimetic industrial processes.
The AVS story begun in 2004 when Univenture (AVS’s founding company) started exploring the concept of producing products made from bioplastics. After intensive research into terrestrial plants including corn, soy and palm, it was revealed that only algae held the potential to sustainably produce bioplastics with the same, or better, performance characteristics than petroleum based plastics. However, in order for algae to be a viable resource, processing technology needed to be substantially improved. At this point, AVS was then formed as a separate entity inside Univenture to develop technologies to improve algae processing and commercialize the resulting discoveries and products.
AVS CEO, Ross O. Youngs, formed Univenture Inc. in 1988 with a vision to invent and manufacture a line of environmentally responsible media packaging products that are functional and cost effective. His products revolutionized the industry by increasing packaging functionality and performance while substantially reducing waste and cost. By utilizing multiple members of the management team from Univenture, AVS will be able to leverage a more than two decades long track record of inventing, manufacturing and successfully commercializing new products and technologies.
