Competitive Analysis of Catalog-on-Demand as an RSS reader/editor/generator/publisher

Are you an expert on the subject of RSS feeds and extremely familiar with popular RSS readers? Do you have excellent analytical and communication skills? If so, this project might be a good fit for you. This is an analysis project, therefore no programming skills are necessary. However, we envision that this project will eventually result in our posting several different programming tasks. -------------- Introduction -------------- We are a 12-year old U.S. company with a well-respected and proven suite of solutions for automated publishing. Our flagship service is called Catalog-on-Demand®, the world’s most powerful, trusted, and easy-to-use solution for producing high quality PDF catalogs. The entire solution is web-based and charges are based entirely on usage. It is less expensive, easier, and smarter than any other tool for automated publishing. Some of the largest and most successful manufacturers and distributors in the world use Catalog-on-Demand to produce thousands of pages per month. Until very recently, most deployments of Catalog-on-Demand were for larger companies with semi-custom requirements. Now we are making a low-cost, self-service version of Catalog-on-Demand ([login to view URL]) available for small businesses and others who have less demanding requirements. ----------- RSS project ------------ There are millions of sites generating RSS feeds. We are looking for someone to analyze whether our technology for managing and publishing product information might also be applicable to working with RSS feeds. ## Deliverables 1) Report as described above. 2) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
