The top 5 reasons RSS is so great

Inspired by Darren's contest about creating a top 5 relating to your blog. Here are the best 5 things about RSS.

RSS saves you time

When you subscribe to an RSS feed all the latest information from all your favourite blogs and sites are in one place, your RSS reader. This has saved me so much time in having to visit every site individually.

Building loyal readers

As a publisher you like to know people are reading your blog. With RSS you know how many subscribers you have (with the help of FeedBurner).

Syndication has never been so easy

With your content packages up in an RSS feed it makes it really easy to syndicate your content.

RSS is opt-in

Unlike email a subscriber can remain anonymous and instantly unsubscribe at the click of a button. It make for a great democratic tool.

RSS evangelist

Let's not forget RSS has meant that I have had something to rant about for the last 2 years and hopefully filled your lives with some warm orange RSS fuzziness.
