Include RSS feeds, w/ RSS via email or IM option, on Government sites

Why Is This Idea Important?: Without the use of RSS, it can be very time consuming to keep track of new information posted on Government web sites, requiring repeated visits to the site to see if new items have been posted. In contrast, the use of RSS feeds - especially when delivered via email - makes the task of tracking changes & additions virtually effortless.

All Government web sites should include RSS feeds including the option to receive RSS feeds via email or Instant messaging. RSS - Really Simple Syndication - is an exceptionally powerful tool that enables access to updates & news from a web sites without having to visit the web site.

Since a substantial majority of users do not make use of RSS readers, while virtually everyone checks their email on a frequent basis, subscribers to RSS feeds should be given the option of receiving the feeds via email or a choice of instant messaging systems, using technologies such as FeedBlitz.
