The RSS Advantage

How would you like to forget about scrambling through your email InBox filtering out spam and looking for news messages? How would you like to have news from your favorite hobby site delivered to your desktop? These are just two of the problems that RSS solves, here are the rest:

1. RSS Delivers the latest news to your desktop
   RSS helps you stay in touch with the huge amount of information available on the Internet. Your RSS reader contacts every one of your favorite websites and retrieves the latest news for you. Depending on which RSS reader you use, it can sort and filter your news as well. You don’t have to go get the news anymore, it comes to you! Whether it is about the weather, new music, software upgrade, local news, or a new posting from a rarely-updated site, you learn about it as soon as it comes out.
2. RSS saves you time
   You no longer need to surf through each and every one of your favorite websites, blogs or news sites to find out what is new. You also don’t need to scan through all 500 of your bookmarks and check if there is perhaps a site you haven’t visited recently. With RSS and depending on the RSS reader you have, you can subscribe to a website’s RSS feed at the click of a button.
3. RSS puts you in complete control of the news your receive
   You select the content that you want, when you want it and the way you want it. You get to look at it when you want to too. An RSS feed enables website owners to put the right information into your hands. You are completely free to choose which websites to subscribe to with your RSS reader.
4. RSS give you instant unsubscribe
   If you don’t want to receive information from an RSS feed publisher anymore you can just hit the delete button in your RSS reader and, “Wham! That feed is history.” You don’t need to confirm or notify anyone that you don’t want to receive their information anymore like you need to with email.
5. RSS allows you complete anonymity and is 100% SPAM-free
   You do not have to send anyone any personal information to subscribe to their public RSS feed. And because you haven’t provided anyone any information you don’t have to worry about what may happen if you unsubscribe from an RSS feed. With RSS you can free up your email’s InBox and receive your news through RSS.
