Why use RSS Feeds?
RSS is a way of publicizing updates about websites. The RSS feed contains the title of the update originating from the website.
It is also usually the link to the website source.
Benefits of RSS? RSS gives benefits to both readers and publishers. 1.It gives you the latest updates.
Whether it is about the weather, new music, software upgrade, local
news, or a new posting from a rarely-updates site learn about the latest
as soon as it comes out. 2.It saves on surfing time.
Since an RSS feed provides a summary of the related article, it saves
the user’s time by helping s/he decide on which items to prioritize when
reading or browsing the net. 3.It gives the power of subscription to the user.
Users are given a free-hand on which websites to subscribe in their RSS
aggregators which they can change at any time they decide differently. 4.It lessens the clutter in your inbox.
Although your email address will be required to enjoy the services of
online RSS aggregators, RSS does not use your email address to send the
updates. 5.It is spam free.
Unlike email subscriptions, RSS does not make use of your email address
to send updates thus your privacy is kept safe from spam mails. 6.Unsubscribing is hassle-free.
Unlike email subscriptions where the user is asked questions on why
s/he is unsubscribing and then the user would be asked to confirm
unsubscribing, all you have to do is to delete the RSS feed from your
aggregator. 7.It can be used as an advertising or marketing tool.
Users who subscribe or syndicate product websites receive the latest
news on products and services without the website sending spam mail. This
is advantageous to both the web user and the website owner since
advertising becomes targeted; those who are actually interested in their
products are kept posted.
Below are some links to sites where you can create your own free RSS feeds. |

This is an excellent intel, Sojourn.
I'm still struggling with the RSS concept, so thanks for the information.
Best wishes.
