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.

The Many Uses of Algae

The problem with many of the bio-fuel solutions being explored by scientists and engineers around the world is that a profound question keeps arising: Is it food or fuel?

The answer can be scary. Choose food, and we’re saying that alternative fuel exploration is finished. Choose fuel, and we’re contributing to an already profound worldwide problem of famine because we would be taking away the world’s food supply to achieve dependence from traditional oil.

At AlgaeVS, we see algae as the liberator to this issue, because algae is not an either food or fuel solution. Algae is a food and fuel solution…and so much more. It’s a feedstock solution. It’s a polymer solution. It’s a nutraceutical solution. It’s a pharmaceutical solution. It’s a fertilizer solution. It’s a plastics solution. And our list can go on.

It’s true, algae is such a miraculous gift on our earth. It can produce the fuel we need to power our cars, trucks, jets, buses etc. At the same time, the bi-product of processing algae-to-oil can be used as feedstock or nutraceuticals or fertilizer. In addition, if ever there was a tremendous food-related catastrophe in our nation or world, growing algae-for-fuel can be quickly shifted to growing algae-for-food. And since some algae types can double its reproduction in as little as two-hours, applying algae to a variety of uses is completely plausible.

At AlgaeVS, we are providing research and development that addresses all of algae’s many uses. And our plans are to roll-out all kinds of solutions with an eye toward true commercialization. That’s what we do best…commercialize ideas.
