It makes a lot of sense to publish feeds for any flow of information going out to a readership or to the public. Of course to do this a publisher would, preferably, need to make use of some form of content management system to automatically publish those feeds and perhaps even allow for topic specific feeds so subscribers can choose which feeds they want to subscribe to rather than simply subscribing to all or nothing.
Publication of feeds is really part of a larger movement towards greater interactivity with clients and visitors to a site using tools like feeds, comments and trackbacks. This is not merely a fad but a trend that will continue and evolve and firms that don’t update their public sites to take advantage of these simple technologies will eventually be regarded in the same light as firms that don’t have websites at all.
