RSS feeds do not provide its subscribers with the same comprehensive information that is found on NBC/MSNBC’s websites according to a study by the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (ICMPA), at the University of Maryland, College Park.
The study also documented that it was difficult even to get all of the staff-generated stories from ‘today’ via RSS feeds. The study looked at 24 RSS feeds from NBC/MSNBC, for example, and even after selecting so many feeds the researchers only counted about half the number of today’ international news stories coming through the RSS feeds as were accessible from a search on the MSNBC website.
The study also found out that all RSS feeds are different and lack a standard. RSS users never know exactly what stories are NOT being sent via their RSS feeds without going back to the home websites.
So, if you think that RSS feeds are giving you the same stories that you can find on a news site, think again.
