Ideas flow in me. Non stop. I see things and I want to improve them. If I don’t understand things, I want a better way. And if I don’t agree with something, I’ve got to change it for myself.

In the world of blogs, there are many ways to access a blog’s stories. You can load the URL directly. You can view the blog’s content in a public aggregator. Or you can ’subscribe’ to a blog’s rss feed and view content in a reader of your own.

However, to me, to say subscribe means something better than having to continuously poll a source to see if there is new information. If that were the case, my subscription to Sports Illustrated would mean me having to call SI every 5 minutes to see if there are new stories, and if so, request that they send me the latest issue.

So I see the use of the word ’subscribe’ as wrong, and I sought to fix it. In doing so, I have created a system that will allow any blogger to provide instant updates to their readers by embedding a simple, yet clever widget to their blog’s sidebar. By instant I mean as close to the new blog entry posting as possible. By update I mean that the reader receives an email with the blog name, post title, post summary and direct url.

This is the service I set out to provide, for my readers and the readers of every blog. It’s an effort I began 14 months ago, an architecture I drew up at the hospital when my son was born, an effort that I’ve snuck into my nightly regiment of coding and writing, an effort that is a culmination of valuable advise from worthy colleagues, and an effort I have finally launched.

The RelayMonkey is working and I know it will work most valuably for you!
