FeedBurner on the Evolution of Feeds
Dick Costolo of FeedBurner has posted an astute analysis of the changes that are happening in the creation, distribution, and publication of XML feeds.
The entire post (and the 300 kb PDF report it's excerpted from) are worth reading, but an early highlight is the succinct description of three critical benefits that feeds provide:
- A notification mechanism for updates to a specific channel of content
- The ability to subscribe to content, creating a persistent link between publisher and subscriber
- A semi-structured version of the content
