control of what he/she subscribes to, it gives the content a structured format, and it notifies the user when new information is available. 198 It is interesting to point out that, even in the fast changing world of IT, all of these arguments are still valid two years later. Ola and Niclas (2005) argue that “By using RSS, information on the Web becomes easier to find and Web developers can spread their information easier to special interest groups.” 199 Kleske (2006) adds to this that the biggest advantage of aggregators is the possibility to centrally observe, a large number of continuously changing websites. 200 RSS is one of the key Web 2.0 technologies because it allows the easy distribution of Web content and provides the user with an easy to use tool that saves time, because RSS feeds can be subscribed to by users, who receive notification of website updates in their newsreaders. This feature saves the user time, as he can visit the sites subscribed to within one single interface. It is also convenient as updates are immediately visible to the user as they come available. Moreover, RSS feeds support the personalization of Web content, because it puts the user in control of what he decides to subscribe to or not, without having to hand out personal details such as email addresses, as is the case with the traditional email newsletter and related services. Ola and Niclas mention as one of the disadvantages of RSS, that often “users do not have the knowledge how they shall use the RSS-reader and therefore the full potential of RSS is not used.” This seems to be confirmed by a Nielsen/NetRatings research (2005), which revealed that “the majority of respondents to the survey were less familiar with RSS feeds. Among the other respondents, 23 percent understood RSS but did not use it, while 66 percent either did not understand the technology or had never heard of it.” 201 Another possible disadvantage they see is that “when RSS becomes more spread the number of available feeds increases and the easiness to subscribe can cause 198 Andersson and Larsson, p. 17-18. 199 Ibid., p. 22. 200 Kleske, p.42. 201 MarketingStudies.net Blog: http://rssdiary.marketingstudies.net/content/only_11_of_blog_readers_use_rss_according_to_niel sennetratings.php?src=e33 (as of 25.3.2006). 105
problems. Users can subscribe to too many feeds and the result is that the user overloads her/himself with information.” 202 Tate Online’s RSS Feeds Figure 9 shows the RSS feeds offered by Tate Online in 2007. Users can subscribe to three categories of feeds, according to their interests. In the first category users are informed about news at a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Secondly, users can choose to subscribe to different type of activities such as e.g. exhibitions or symposia & events. The third category is addressed to target groups, such as families or teachers. One can only imagine how many news items Tate Online produces in a month’s time. Taking into account how overloaded with unsolicited bulk messages and commercial newsletters most peoples’ email accounts are, it becomes clear how useful it is to order news content in this way. It allows users to select only those items, which are of interest to them.
