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.

Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap Workshop Summary of Event

Test Tubes of AlgaeThe U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office of the Biomass Program conducted an Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap Workshop on December 9-10 at University of Maryland, Inn and Conference Center.
The format followed similar roadmap workshops conducted by the Department of Energy in order to bring together various parties mostly consisting of researchers from national labs and universities along with some companies involved in development and commercialization.  This format consisted of presentations and breakout sessions designed to directly engage the participants in order to provide a consolidation of knowledge.  The Department of Energy, using their labs NREL and Sandia, will then write the Roadmap draft document and provide a geographic resource model of algal growth based on a number of factors.  The DOE summary of the event can viewed at https://www.orau.gov/algae2008/summary.pdf.
