What is the difference between and RSS feed and a bookmark?

Question

I don't get it. What is the benefit of an RSS feed as opposed to bookmarking a page?

(Perhaps my Firefox browser isn't supporting all the benefits, if there are any...)

Answer 1

RSS feed is like a list of updates that is checked for you. You'll get notified when there is new material on the site you are interested in. With a bookmark, you'd have to go and check, yourself.

Use bookmarks for pages that you want to visit often. Use RSS feeds for sites that you want to be notified automatically when they publish some new material.
