PubSubHubbub is a great way to get your RSS and Atom feeds syndicated, fast. It avoids the old ping model where your software would have to go out and tell an aggregator that a feed was updated.

RSS is becoming a real background process that you may be consuming without knowing it. It's not all just RSS feeds and feed readers anymore.
