Why make a feed available?
为什么要利用feed?
You will have more viewers, since now, your viewers can conveniently see your site without even going out and looking for that certain site. While at first, it may seem corrupt, it will in fact enhance the visibility of your site; this is so because users can easily keep up or keep tract with your site, to allow them to view in a way that they want to; it's more probable that guests are aware should something that is in their interest is available or accessible on your site.
从现在起,你将拥有更多的浏览者,他们不需要花时间查找特定的站点就可以方便地访问你的站点。然而首先值得关注的一点是,它可能表面看上去混乱不堪,其实它增加了站点的可视性和可读性。这就是为什么人们能够很轻松地了解你的站点,并迅速地浏览他们希望阅读的内容的原因所在。这可以更方便地使他们注意到它们所感兴趣的信息以及你的站点概况。
For instance, every month your website broadcasts a new feature. Having no feed, your viewers will always have to keep in mind to go to your site in a certain time to see if they discover something new; that is, if they can remember, and if they still have the time. However, if you supply a feed for your viewers, they can just point to their aggregator and it will instantly provide them a link along with a description of happenings or events at your site immediately.
举个例子来说,每个月,你的网站都会具备与以前不同的特征。如果没有feed,浏览者就必须等待某个特定的时间来访问你的站点,看看信息是否更新了;这就需要两个条件,首先,他们必须记住信息更新的时间;其次,它们必须有充足的时间。然而,你为浏览者们提供了一个feed,那么浏览者只需要点击aggregators[网络聚合器]中提供的链接,他们就可以直接看到你站点中的新事件或新信息。

RSS 2.0 is very easy and simple create by hand. And atom is an IETF Standard, does it brings constancy, stability and a natural and accepted community to support its usage.
同过使用上面这个聚合器,那么就可以根据用户的个人喜好进行格式选择了。RSS 1.0影响深远,它必须被整合到语义网络系统中。RSS2.0可以非常方便的通过手动创建。Atom[原子]是IETF的标准,它为RSS提供了固定的、稳定的、自然的、一致公认的用法。
