Before I talk abt RSSFWD, I think I should explain blog feeds. Those who aready know may wan to scroll down to the bottom. I am not really familiar with feeds. I only know how to use them, but I'll try to explain them properly.

Wikipedia gave a short explanation about blog feeds. I think it's a bit too short though.

To explain more about blog feeds, I want to paint a scenario. Supposed that you are following 100 blogs. So you will have 100 bookmarks/favorites. And you needa click on them periodically to check if they have new postings. Those blogs that you know post regularly, you click more often. But even then, clicking 100 links is abit siong and 1/2 the time there's no uploads.

So what you can do is to either subscribe to a online service like bloglines. or a windows application that can syndicate feeds. These softwares and web sites can check the blogs on your behalf and inform u.

RSS
and atom
are 2 kinds of blog feeds that are more commonly used. I don't know much, maybe clicking on the wikipedia links will help you find out more about them. :P

Now, what is RSSFWD? It's a RSS feed reader that informs you of blog updates via email. Meaning, it will send you new postings by email. It's a service provided by my fren, Choon Keat. It started because he thought since he checks his email every time, it will be more convenient for him if the new postings of the blogs he follows are sent to his email as well. So RSSFWD is born, and he finds it quite neat, and decides to share it with everyone.

If you look at my sidebar on the right, under the section syndicate, there's 2 orange icons that say RSSFWD. One for subscribing to my blog articles, the other for subscribing to my blog comments. Clicking them will bring up a form for you to subscribe to my feeds using RSSFWD.(For the other blog)

And finally, if you find RSSFWD useful, please go there and make a donation to him. It's not mandatory, web hosting is not free, he will appreciate it if you can help cover the cost a bit. :)
