RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS. Basicly content taking from one site, and added to another. If you wanted to place the world news on your home page, would you search and update articles all the time? Naw, you could use an RSS feed to automaticly grab news and updated on your site. And you do nothing.
