Do rss feeds help seo in 2013?

[Llanero]

I have seen answers for this back in 2012 but as we all now things have changed in 2013.

My question is Do rss feeds help seo in 2013?  Or does google see it as duplicate content (I see that the moz site has RSS ...)

RSS feeds as duplicate content? That's the first time I hear something like that.

Feeds are intended for feed readers, which basically is a file that tells the title of the page/story, a small portion of the content/summary and the location of the actual document, an URL where you can read all the article/page.

It also helps crawlers find new content in your site by scraping the feed instead of the whole site, but it does not SEO benefit, other that "perhaps" having your new pages indexed faster.
