Benefit to Content Developers
While the benefits to users and webmasters are clear the distribution
opportunities made available to content developers should not be overlooked.
Information contained in the RSS feed can be easily syndicated, increasing
content distribution and reach.
RSS allows for content developers to:
1.) Increase exposure in niche markets.
2.) Communicate with user bases and reach potential customers via an
alternate communication method.
3.) Disseminate relevant information.
4.) Define themselves as an industry expert.
5.) Automate content delivery.
RSS has effectively standardized the format for content delivery and has
effectively defined the accepted standard for content distribution and
syndication. RSS will likely rival email as a means of content distribution
in another few years. The shear simplicity makes the technology very
appealing.
