RSS, Not Just A Blogging Tool - The strongest benefit...
(Page 4 of 4 )
The strongest benefit a consumer derives from RSS is he/she controls the information he/she receives and is not bombarded with unsolicited messages. As the delivery system is totally opt-in, safe and effective. If at all the user feels that the feed's content is not up to the mark and the quality is declining, he/she can very easily remove the feed from his reader and not receive any future updates or messages.
RSS might not completely replace email in the future but it will definitely join in to be on the same level very soon. As the importance for content quality and delivery grows, RSS feeds will definitely have a higher priority with time.
On the last note, blogs may have helped in spreading the word about RSS and how useful it is. However, it will be the websites with new ideas and corporate companies, which will reap the benefits. RSS will help them find new revenue streams, build strong brand loyalty, acquire repeat customers and promote a continuous development. In the process, giving a fresh lease to new and old businesses.
