RSS has changed the way we consume information on Internet. The benefits are just too many when it comes to reading stuff using RSS. Taking into consideration the significance of RSS in coming years and to leverage the power, flexibility and ad potential of RSS, various companies are trying to create opportunities. Not to ignore the significance of RSS marketing for driving traffic,many websites and companies have dedicated RSS marketing teams. If they don’t then I am afraid it’s about time for them to make a move before anyone else.

Working on this same philosophy of leveraging from RSS, there’s a new service which creates a mashup of RSS feeds that you love into one single feed. The service is called as RSSMixer and the mashup of feeds that it generates is available in the following format.

RSS Feed
HTML
Mobile
Widgets

I am still trying to understand what are the connotation of this model. If I were to use my not so lame thought process to march into an unknown territory of interpreting things, I’d say there’s a lot of potential. Let’s see how:

For the users: Let’s say I am in dire need of subscribing to designers and concept creators related blogs and feeds. I can start looking online for such websites/blogs and eventually subuscribe to them. Or the easier way would be to get a RSSMixer mashup feed of some user who already have these blog feeds with her/him. Looks like a great potential for sharing the feeds in a very convinient way.
For the blogs and feed providers. I am sure at some point of time this service could generate statistics based on various mashedup feed hueristics to give food for thought for the bloggers or feed providers. This however, would be quite number crunching and analytically rigorous.
For the company RSSMixer, this has the advantage of both creating oppurtunities with user generated content and in future using the same to come out with a revenue generation model.

Having flabbergasted so much about this service it’s would ironical to see it not staying up to it’s potential. Let’s take a look at the screenshot of the service.
