|  Many web sites propose RSS feeds of updated content, through which, user can give his consent to RSS readers. In place of, visiting a website every day to see what has changed, RSS readers automatically pull down the latest RSS feed at uniform intervals. Users are free to go through their articles at their own leisure, even offline.
FeedBurner addresses the bandwidth consumption issue in an understandable manner. They convey all bandwidth consumption from you to them; high-traffic your site, make the impact more dramatic. Beside this, you get some nice reporting on the readership, which help to identify how your readers actually use your content.
It also addresses interoperability, i.e. – gives you the ability to exchange and use information (usually in a large heterogeneous network made up of several local area networks).
If your aggregator supports only certain syndication formats (say, ATOM), FeedBurner can seamlessly address that by converting from one syndication format on the fly to another.
It's a substantial savings, and FeedBurner brings lots of other abilities to the table beyond mere bandwidth savings.
