(PRWEB) February 28, 2005 -- Nooked, the creator of an online service for publishing and measuring corporate news in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, is today launching a new, free service to help people find relevant RSS feeds. The searchable online directory of corporate RSS feeds can be found at http://dir.nooked.com. The Nooked RSS Directory has been created in response to the growing number of people trying to find RSS feeds. It provides an easy way for people to browse RSS feeds using keywords or categories.

The Nooked RSS Directory indexes RSS feeds in a variety of categories including education, government, health, news and media, science and sport. Nooked is also inviting companies to submit their RSS feeds to the directory.

As part of our testing for Nookeds online RSS publishing service we spent a lot of time looking for a wide variety of corporate RSS feeds, but discovered that they were difficult to find. We were reduced to visiting individual sites and conducting arduous Google, Technorati and PubSub searches," said Fergus Burns, Nooked CEO. During this process, we concluded that a central directory of RSS feeds would be a useful service for people looking to take advantage of RSS for keeping up to date with the latest media, company and weblog news."

RSS is becoming a strategic communication channel for more organizations," said Neville Hobson, an Amsterdam-based communication practitioner and commentator on business communication and technology issues. The Nooked directory is a valuable aid for communication professionals as you can quickly identify organizations who offer RSS feeds, and then easily subscribe to those feeds, all from one location."

Nooked is also inviting businesses to submit their RSS feeds to the Nooked RSS Directory, which will provide a useful means of increasing their RSS subscribers.

Were hoping the directory will grow into a valuable resource to help all sorts of professionals from journalists monitoring a particular industry, to companies keeping an eye on the latest developments or analysts doing research," said Burns.

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a new way to broadcast your corporate news, offering a quicker, easier communications channel to customers, partners and journalists. RSS is published in feeds or channels, and is read using a new category of software called news aggregators. Aggregators periodically check each RSS feed to which you are subscribed to see if new news items have been published, and display the results.
