Information distribution system, information distribution apparatus, and information distribution method
First Claim
1. An information distribution system which collects a feed provided by a feed providing site and distributes the same to a user, comprising:
- a feed acquisition means which acquires a feed from the feed providing site based on feed distribution setting information set by the user;
an aggregation feed control means which performs a redirection processing on the feed acquired and aggregates a plurality of the feeds subjected to the redirection processing to generate a aggregated feed, the redirection processing being intended to access the feed providing site through the information distribution system;
