Benefits of Using RSS

RSS Feeds are small sized XML files, which act as web feeds, containing key information of specific topics. Basically web site owners include headlines, news and updates in the feeds, and users can subscribe and get free updates. The benefits of using RSS Feeds are centered mainly around how easy they are to use, how easy it is to adapt them so you can get exactly what you need, and how diverse they're fields of use are, extending from providing simple web feeds to facilitating blog syndications and synchronizing devices with web sites.

When managing a large scale web site, you need to think of a way to distribute information to all subscribed users in such a way that captures they're attention but doesn't compromise the actual information. It's obvious that you can't just present whole articles or entire pages of content and expect users to be interested, since it is basic human nature for people to lose interest when they are searching for a specific subject and are confronted by a wall of text. Based on the same principle, too little information is also not a good idea, since you would compromise your website by providing flawed information.

Using RSS web feeds provides several key advantages, like:

Easier blog feeds Each blog can have its own feed, where the title of the feed is the title of the post, and the content of the feed is a short description about the post, with a link to the post at the end. Feeds on Articles When a new article appears on a web site which specializes in articles, or new content is added to a web site, the details can be added to the feed, and relayed to the subscribed users, in much the same way as with blog feeds. Forum post feeds When a user posts a new reply on a forum, subscribed users can get informed through a RSS Feed, containing details like the title of the post, the name of the user that posted, the time and date of the post, and a short description of the post content. E-commerce specific feeds E-commerce web sites are some of the best places where feeds can be used to their full potential. Users can get feeds on special offers, discounts, new products, and more. News web site feeds

News web sites can use feeds to distribute news headlines and the beginning of the news story.

Basically you can use RSS Feeds for any type of situation when you need to distribute news and updates to subscribed users in a timely and efficient manner. Thanks to the XML format that powers them, the flexibility, possibilities and benefits of using RSS Feeds are endless.
