Advantages of RSS Feeds (Really Simple Syndication)

RSS Technology (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed format use to publish frequently updated works such as jobs, news etc. RSS feed benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. The main advantages of RSS Feeds are :
RSS allows users to avoid manually inspecting all of the websites they are interested in, and instead subscribe to websites such that all new content is pushed onto their browsers when it becomes available.
Recently, I use to visit some of the websites which are sourcing contents from other popular websites using RSS technology. I feel that such websites are making business using the content of other websites. I don’t know whether it is legal to source the content of other websites through RSS? But I think this type of websites is quite useful to the visitors (as well as the original publishers). This is because the visitors can find the contents that they want, from one website alone and they don’t have to visit so many websites or portals. Generally most of these sites contain the data of classifieds, jobs, news, automotive, matrimonial, downloads, shopping, bids, dating, games, travel, networking etc. Most of them are also providing RSS feed to their users or members. And the users or members can see the updated contents in their mail or blogs at the same time when the contents are updated.
(1) Users or Members are getting the updated data at the same time when it is updated.
(2) The publishers will get healthy and active links from other websites or blogs.
(3) It will be beneficial for them to get a high ranking in the search engine optimization of their websites.
(4) The websites will be always alive or active with the regular updating of contents.
(5) The users/members can create XML Site Maps, which increases the indexing in the search engines.
Example of some websites which are based on RSS Feeds is http://www.jobsinworld.com & http://www.gulfjobsnew.com.
