Featured Software  : NewzAlert Composer

NewzAlert Composer is the Featured Software again this month due to the overwhelming response we had from you all last issue, and the requests to win more licenses :-) It has also been through a couple of upgrade releases to add more functionality and fix a couple of small bugs, so check out the latest version at the Castle Software web site.

NewzAlert Composer is a comprehensive tool for creating and publishing RSS feeds, and it's all you need to get up and running with one or more RSS feeds of your own. It brings together the editing and publishing of all your RSS feeds into one convenient place on your desktop.

RSS is fast becoming the standard for distributing information on the Internet. Email is quickly becoming an unreliable method of distributing newsletters and product and service information to customers. The main reasons for this are the large amounts of spam and viruses circulating, but also partly due to the spam filters built to solve the problem of spam. More and more legitimate email is not reaching its intended destination, and in a lot of cases, the sender is not even notified that the email hasn't been deliverered to the intended recipient.

With RSS feeds of your own, you can quickly and easily :* Notify your customers about product updates* Announce company news* Run promotions and specials* Publish your thoughts and ideas in an ever expanding realm of RSS feeds

NewzAlert Composer gets you up and running with your own RSS feeds within minutes.

Promote your feeds at www.NewzAlert.com and make it easy for people to find your feeds and therefore your web site and your products and services.

SpamAI Multi-User Spam Blocker

SpamAI is a spam filtering program to block unwanted email. SpamAI can filter mail in multiple accounts per individual and for multiple individuals. The user interface is web-browser based so that users and administrator can flexibly be set up on any combination of the same and separate machines. Sophisticated rules are applied to both the content and headers of the email to mark it as spam or not. The spam can now be easily separated and handled as a class, usually by deleting it after a cursory review in one step. These rules based on training from looking at past spam. SpamAI is unusual in that its Live technology upgrades filtering rules and program code residing on your computer in near real time. You receive updates to filter out the latest spammer subterfuges within typically a half hour of posting. SpamAI uses Regular Expression (Regex) rules and makes their definition accessible to the user. Regex rules can be very simple for straight forward tasks such as constructing a list of people whose mail you want to receive . . .

NewzAlert.com for all your RSS and XML news feed needs.

Auckland, New Zealand (June 29, 2004) -- Castle Software announces the launch of the NewzAlert.com RSS portal, located at http://www.NewzAlert.com on the web. NewzAlert.com is a portal, with a Google PageRank of 6, that brings together all aspects of RSS and is an evolutionary step in the world of RSS. From RSS feeds organized by category through tools for creating and publishing feeds to tools for viewing RSS feeds, NewzAlert.com offers it all in an easy, professional and stylish interface.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is a maturing XML standard for publishing and distributing information via the Internet. The RSS 2.0 standard defines a lightweight, portable XML format designed for sharing headlines and other web content. For web site owners, RSS is a great way to present structured information such as news, information and product updates. For end users RSS is a simple and convenient, yet very powerful tool for getting content where, when and how they want it. As Bill Gates stated recently in his keynote speech at the Microsoft CEO Summit 2004, about RSS, “… the ultimate idea is that you should get the information you want when you want it ..."

As a portal, NewzAlert.com provides links and resources for many different aspects of RSS. For the beginner, there is information about what RSS is and what you need to be able to view RSS feeds. Links are also provided to multiple RSS news readers, ranging from free tools through to top of the range tools for which a license must be purchased. For web site owners or even for businesses that don’t have a web site, there are links to software tools for creating, maintaining and publishing RSS feeds.

Hundreds of RSS feeds are already listed on NewzAlert.com and the number is expected to increase dramatically over a short period of time. Feeds are listed by subcategory within major category, and a comprehensive search facility is also available on every page. For RSS feeds listed on NewzAlert.com, the top 5 topics are shown on the listing’s detail page, along with other information about the feed, including an overview of the feed, its format and the language it is published in. The information stored for each feed also contains keywords and a long description to make it easy for visitors to find the feeds they are interested in.

Visitors are free to browse NewzAlert.com to their heart’s content. Publishers must create an account in order to list their feeds on the portal. Basic accounts are entirely free and no payment of any kind is required. For those people that make money from their presence on the web in particular, promotion of their RSS feed is another way of increasing their online profile. RSS helps businesses bring the latest news and information to their customers. It makes sense therefore that higher awareness by customers of news, discounts, promotions, new versions and so on, leads to an increase in sales, revenues and therefore profits. NewzAlert.com offers four levels of paid, subscription based membership to increase the profile of the member’s feed listings. Starting at only US $4.00 a month for a Silver subscription, paid membership offers a whole host of benefits for a very small cost. Secure payment processing ensures that users payment details remain confidential and protected.

Over time, articles and contributions from RSS publishers will be published on NewzAlert.com, with the ultimate aim being the widespread acceptance and use of RSS. NewzAlert.com aims to be the most professionally presented and content rich RSS portal on the Internet.
