OK Yeah thats what the RSS Feed is for. For instance, if I wanted to read your blog on a regular basis I would just subscribe to your RSS Feed in Google reader. I check my reader several times a day for new posts in blogs and news I like and I read them there--all in one place. That way I don't have to jump from site to site to read the blogs I follow, or to check which ones have been updated. There are lots of other tools for this too. Even some browsers have RSS readers built into them. Most of the videobloggers here depend on RSS to deliver their content to RSS readers or things like iTunes or Miro or Fireant. MeFeedia is an online RSS media agregator. If you manage your feed with Feedburner you can track how many subscribers you have and see if someone is republishing your content via an RSS feed. There is also a service there that will let people subscribe to a feed via email. I personally don't like to get updates via email as my mailbox is too cluttered to begin with so RSS is a better solution for me. But I can understand that some people like getting email updates so that option is there for them too. If you want to know more about RSS and what it is and how to best use it check out the wikipedia entry on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)
