RSS Comes with Bandwidth Price Tag

RSS Comes with Bandwidth Price Tag:
"Popularity comes with price, as Web publishers of XML syndication feeds are learning the hard way.

According to feed publishers, as the use of Really Simple Syndication news feeds grows so too does the bandwidth they consume and the demands they put on Web servers. Some Weblogs and technology Web sites are rethinking the way they publish their RSS feeds as they find that frequent requests from newsreaders, the applications that aggregate feeds, can strain their resources."
