Helping the Survivors

It has become apparent now that the damage in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast from Katrina is more horrendous than was first thought. The need for aid to the people in this region, many of whom have lost everything to this storm, is obvious and urgent. The world will undoubtedly respond, but as individuals we can also render aid. Two links that can be used to do this are:

• Yahoo Donation Page
• Red Cross (Direct Link)

Many of us have friends and family members in the area affected by Katrina. You can search for them on the internet here. This site has a search capability and also links to a number of other sites which may be of assistance in your efforts.

New Service Joining the Loucon Family

Here at FLN we are quite excited about a new site that is joining the Loucon Corp. family of websites. It is in development and will be available very soon. This new service is RSampi (pronounced r-sam-pee).

RSampi is a new web application that allows users to subscribe to their favorite RSS content from anywhere in the world. RSampi requires no installation.

If you are wondering what RSS is, it stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically it allows you to manage the information that is currently coming into your inbox from websites. It consolidates the information in one place for you to access. It means your inbox can be used for actual e-mail messages from people. What a concept!

The service will be invaluable to anyone who normally visits many sites every day to check on developments in their professional field or simply areas of interest. With RSS, you can then simply look at all the feeds in one place (RSampi) and save yourself untold hours.

The service should be available very soon so watch for an announcement of its official launch here.
