The Pogoplug as a Web Server

Seattle, WA, July 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- AzaleaRSS.com is the one of the first web sites hosted exclusively on a Pogoplug, the incredibly small Linux appliance from CloudEngines. The Pogoplug is a mere 4" x 2.5" x 2" and runs Linux. It has a power plug, an ethernet port, and a USB plug.

Billed as a way to mount USB drives on the web, the geeky folks at AzaleaRSS saw this $100 device as a cheap box to play with. And they did. www.AzaleaRSS.com/Pogoplug/

This modest Pogoplug is running LINP - LInux, Nginx, and PHP, all on an 8GB USB flash drive. It lives in the offices of Azalea Software [Seattle WA] alongside a Thinkpad hosting JetCityOrange's Lava Lite webcam and a Mac running Vidalia a.k.a. Tor. The Pogoplug is in good company.

AzaleaRSS is a free RSS editor written for Microsoft Excel 2003 and Excel 2007. The RSS 2.0 files it creates are the basis for feeds, podcasts, and webcasts. AzaleaRSS.com is a resource with information on the RSS spec, how to create RSS feeds from Google Calendars, YouTube channels, Flickr accounts and more. RSS is a powerful web publishing technique and AzaleaRSS strives to spread the word.

Fonded in 1992, Azalea Software, Inc. is located in Seattle WA and publishes barcode printing software and web publishing tools.
