NewzAlert Composer v1.33 Released

webmaster@CastleSoftware.biz — Mon, 31 May 2004 14:37:21 +0000

You read it here first !!

Castle Software Ltd today announced the release of it's flagship RSS product : NewzAlert Composer. 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.
