In a country like India, this could be the first step in a publication chain that caters equally well to both a connected and non-connected audience.

Think of sending out weekly/monthly magazines by post, except that it also a blog.

Thanks for having a look Ashish. Feedback from you and from readers of Pluggd.in is always useful.

Just wanted to clarify about the 10 posts thing – that only happens when the feed has been redirected to feedburner or a similar third party service. From directly accessible feeds, we can pull out any number of posts (irrespective of the default chosen by the site for the RSS feed). Since we anticipated the unwillingness of people to provide their blog username and password to an unknown site, we worked hard to make the service as usable as possible even without that.

Regarding the use cases, apart from the many interesting ones for the already existing blogs, I like to think about what could blogs be used for if they could be easily turned into books. That opens up many possibilities which we will try to highlight more in time to come! Stay tuned.

Good point!
“So i prefer bloggers who concentrate on single topic can use this feature a best mode and update his readers, where readers if they really like some posts they can download and save it and even can print easily” – echoes my use case of using this service

Hello

Well a new task, with new queries.In my mind what i first thought is that this will be useful for people who write up blogs on single point either it might be a technology side, business management side, travels side etc etc

Because here if u take a travel blog where only travel details will be posted and discussions will be there on those posts, so for readers sake if the blog owner wants to update his readers with a pdf file, where only the posts that got posted in that month that will be good and people can go through it easily

For max blogs many things are posted some posts are from some sort of news, some sort of family gossips, some sort of other stuff from different sources from internet this wont be much useful, as no one cant read all those topics in a time.

So i prefer bloggers who concentrate on single topic can use this feature a best mode and update his readers, where readers if they really like some posts they can download and save it and even can print easily

What you think please let me know

Thanks & Regards

Sai Pothuri
