Maybe it includes complete posts, and all you want is a 20-word summary. Or there are too many entries. Feedburner is a black box that helps solve this kind of problem. Give it a feed to "burn" and it'll create a new feed, with a Feedburner address. The big difference is will then offer you lots of things you can do with the feed. You might want a snippet of HTML to display the feed in a certain way, for example. And as for Twitter, that's another story...
