RSS feed questions

P

Hi all,

I work for a classified-type site and am planning on having an RSS
feed for each category. I understand the basics of RSS, but I can't
decide how often to update each RSS feed.

Each category will probably have several new listings every hour.
What's generally the recommended update frequency for an RSS feed?
Also, in each update, do you exclude content that was in previous
feeds, or do you leave it up to the reader to sort out repeated
content?

My plan is to update the feed every hour and for the feed to have 24
hours worth of content. Does that sound like a reasonable strategy?

Thanks,

Paul
