Well, website is a wrong name, the correct would be RSSSite, something easy to follow from a personal aggregator, witch happen to be a classic feed reader.
Doing so means:
- you can select a moderately large set of sources (depending on how much posts are published and how much you read) and see the aggregated by YOURS criteria on YOURS own local machine, no propaganda from some giant can tweak your sources hiding something or pushing something in your "view";
- you can keep anything you feel relevant locally, depending on your reader with a single click and full contents, fully searchable/tagable/sharable etc no dependence on "web archive services" that might disappear or even get silently tweaked to change the history;
- you can organize your view of human information depending on your tastes, run your own statistics, analysis etc to form your own personal knowledge out of someone else published ones.
The above is the key toward a free information for a free society, depending on third parties doing something equivalent, like Google News, means being at the third party mercy since such hoster can push you toward certain contents hiding certain others with criteria you do not control. At a scale means classic full-fledged dictatorship propaganda because while freedom of publishing is still there nearly no one can reach "unwanted by big&powerful contents" since access is via aggregators and search engines.
That's why we need classic mail, usenet and RSS: because no one can control them at a whole level. They are decentralized services anyone can control just a personal slice.
