What I've learnt so far about RSS...

PROS

• Cheap, quick and easy way to keep websites up-to-date
• Can monitor the media on particular topics e.g. major news feeds on healthcare items
• Easy to subscribe and unsubscribe
• Easier than creating bookmarks
• Bypasses email so it doesn't get mixed up with correspondence
• Can archive and sort
• Security/privacy
• Can create feeds based on keywords

CONS

• Difficult to monitor success - no registration or subscription
  
• Need to use separate software
• Can't reply or communicate with the information source
