At the moment it's almost an RSS arms race to be the number one RSS player. You can bet that your competition is using RSS. Unlike email, RSS is guaranteed to be delivered to your readers. Your RSS feed is contained in an XML file on your server so it is fetched by the users RSS reader or feed aggregator. That means there are no spam filters of other servers between you and your visitors. The greatest feature of RSS is that the user is always in control. That means they are confident and comfortable with using RSS. They can unsubscribe with one click and be totally confident that they will be unsubscribed. If the user is reading your feed then they must really be interested with what you are publishing. Allan is the webmaster at http://www. newsniche.com/ an RSS resource for webmasters.
