In 1776 in his book named as the wealth of nation Adam smith propagated the competitive advantage theory, which championed the division of labour and specialization of work, which add to the economies of scale when there is a production done in a huge scale. However, in that theory, which he proposed, laid hidden a far more vital idea which today claims to be the reason behind 7% of India’s GDP in the year 2007. yes we are talking about outsourcing, which in the days of Adam Smith meant, a particular part of the entire production process, was meant to be dealt by a particular group of workers who are specialized in that part of the job.

Nevertheless, you have to agree that ever since 1776, the definition of outsourcing as undergone a quantum change. Before we proceed let us have a brief idea about what is the meaning of outsourcing, this for those who are not very familiar wit the term. In the process of production, there are various subordinate processes, which contribute to the primary output. However, it is not possible for many firms to pay equal attention to every department. So in the face of this kind of situation they tend to outsource or hand over a particular part of the production process to another firm who are specialized in that particular category, thus giving it the responsibility for the design and implementation of that process. In this way the outsourcing firm saves a lot of money and time too, which it invests in some other areas, whereas the firm which is providing the outsourcing service is also earning huge profits owing to external economies, which comes from the highly specialized but cheap labor.
Now that we have discussed the main idea, let look at the outsourcing background of India. The wave of globalization first kissed the Indian soil in the early 1990’s and After the initial boost, the next successive governments have pursued the trend of economic reform toward liberalization and privatization of public sectors. Even till the year 1994 the indian telecom sector was under the government control and they were enjoying a monopoly in this field, which was a major reason for the lack of growth in the IT Sector of the Indian economy. Nonetheless it was in this year owing to a policy of the existing government their was considerable liberalization in the field of telecom and
private participation was encouraged, and thus started the upward growth of the IT sector. Then in the year of 1999 the new IP telephony was introduced under the ‘new telecom policy’, which kind of terminated the monopoly of the state government on the international calling facilities. Now this step structured a huge cut in the calling expenses and heralded the golden era of the IT industry. And thus started the sudden spurt of inbound and outbound call centers and data processing centers.

The original idea of RSS came from Netscape, where their intention is to provide a means for users to customize their personal homepage to contain links to websites that interest them, similar to bookmarking websites.
The application of RSS to internet marketing was an unforeseen development to RSS technology developers. Since users are given the freedom to add RSS feeds to their aggregators, those who are interested in particular products and services available in the internet can now be notified real time. Marketing becomes more specific to interested people and not a hit-and-miss operation.
Those who intend to use RSS for marketing their products and services should consider linking up with email account providers, (e.g. Yahoo, MSN, Google mail); networking websites (e.g. Friendster, Multiply, My Space, Hi5); websites of newspapers and television network websites (e.g. New York Times, CNN) for medium to big-scale companies. Small-time industries can also look into networking websites as well as personal blog websites (e.g. Blogspot) and websites of clubs and organizations that would probably make use of their products or services e.g. a fishing supplies store can look for the website of their local fishing club for possible RSS marketing.
Clearly, RSS is an innovation in information management in the worldwide web as well as online marketing. We can expect better RSS technology in the not-so-distant future as its popularity increases among users and website owners alike.

The disadvantages of RSS use are brought about by its being a new technology and some user-preference concerns.
1.Some users prefer receiving email updates over an RSS feed.
2.Graphics and photos do not appear in all RSS feeds.
For conciseness and ease of publication, RSS feeds do not display the photos from the original site in announcing the update except for some web-based aggregators
3.The identity of the source website can be confusing.
Since RSS feeds do not display the actual URL or name of the website, it can sometimes get confusing on what feed a user is actually reading.
4.Publishers cannot determine how many users are subscribed to their feed and the frequency of their visits. Moreover, they would not know the reasons why users unsubscribe which could be important in improving their advertising.
5.RSS feeds create higher traffic and demands on the server.
Most readers still prefer the whole update over a brief summary of the entry, thus they still access the site.
6.Since it is a new technology, many sites still do not support RSS.
How do I start using RSS?
