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.
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.
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.

The technologies that are emerging from the AlgaeVenture System are completely synergistic within the system and leverage existing technologies and infrastructures.
In this diagram, an AVS algae farm is a critical part of a closed loop sustainability that eliminates waste and maximizes all material as either food or energy.

George J. Igel & Co., Inc. – Site Development Contractor – Igel is partnering with AlgaeVS on the site development specifications for construction of the Algae Farm Systems. Igel has been in business for over 90 years and has years of experience with site development of 1 – 300 acres.
After seeing our Algae Initiative presentation, John Igel understands the impact this can have on our country’s fuel -dependency and Ohio’s economy and wants to contribute to the success of our consortium. Igel is offering their expertise in site preparation relating to soil composition, grading and other specifications needed for the preparation of land for our Rapid Algae Farming systems.

The AlgaeVS model for rapid commercialization is revolutionary for most schools of thought. However, the benefits are already emerging. During the construction of the initial test pond, AlgaeVS engineers discovered that equipment currently available in the market would not deliver the results needed without extensive and costly retrofitting. AlgaeVS immediately began development of a proprietary harvesting system that can be manufactured and implemented quickly and economically for maximum efficiency in the overall algae farming process.

By Eric T. Baumgartner, PhD – Dean of the College of Engineering, Ohio Northern University
A collaborative team consisting of university and industry partners recently submitted a proposal to the Third Frontier Wright Projects program to build a Multi-Species Algae Bioreactor Facility on the campus of Ohio Northern University in Ada. ONU was supported on the proposal effort by AlgaeVS and Marathon Petroleum Company who represent industries that are committed to the development and use of renewable resources such as bioplastics and biodiesel fuels. Rhodes State College and the Edison Materials Technology Center (EMTEC) rounded out the proposal team.
The proposed effort seeks to develop the technology required for a loosely-controlled algae growing system that will allow multiple algae species to thrive within the bioreactor environment. The resulting system will be based around algal communities that grow naturally within Ohio’s freshwater environments. It is expected that the growth and development of naturally-occurring algae species within the bioreactor facility will result in a cost-effective solution to algae farming by achieving consistent algae harvest yields and by reducing the need for tight contamination control techniques and methodologies.
The effort will build on AlgaeVS’s significant activities associated with the development of Rapid Algae Farming systems. Ohio Northern University will also leverage faculty expertise within the College of Engineering and the Department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences for the design, construction and implementation of the Multi-Species Algae Bioreactor facility at ONU. The resulting technology solutions within the bioreactor facility will be commercialized in conjunction with AlgaeVS’s Rapid Algae Farming system. In addition, the specific algae oil products that are produced by the Multi-Species Algae Bioreactor facility will be evaluated for commercialization potential by AlgaeVS for use within their various plastic packaging products, by Marathon Petroleum Company for use as a biodiesel product, and by EMTEC as a potential bio-based jet fuel product.
