RSS Feed

Does anyone have anykind of feed on their website where people can use your content and then probably link back to you through the feed?

How successful do you think it is? And has it helped you at all?

I have been thinking about this, but failed to do anything in this matter .. It could be a good idea. But I am still thinking about how to add this feature. If I could get some good traffic, then i would be a good idea ...

Sounds like it might be a good idea.

I think the RSS feeds provided by most of the site just provide with the Title and a small description of the article and many want to include a whole article. I mean, I like to include a whole article on my forums and then provide a link back to the original article. If you do provide whole text, then you may find many who're interested, but then service abuse is another thing. (such as not linking back to you but using the content)
