press releases, announcements, updated info,
company details, products and marketing. But in order for your audience to view this
content via RSS Feeds, they will need to
download a special program called an RSS
aggregator. Some are available at no charge
while others have a subscription fee. Most will ask, what is an RSS aggregator?
It is an application that will allow and
end user to subscribe to RSS Feeds thus
allowing them to read and view your new
content. And yes, you can still use e-mail to deliver
your news and updated content. E-mail is not
going away as a few writers have predicted.
