From wiki

RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.

It's like you can compile all your favorite websites and blogs in one page or "feed". All you need to do is to check your feed for any new blog articles or news or updates from those sites you subscribed.

 

It really helps in keeping everything you subscribe to in one place.

 

Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary feed provides summaries of web content in a simple format. It is available through an RSS feed reader, or through some browsers. It will show you what's new since the last time you checked the feed

There tools are available for the reasonably savvy do-it-yourself, such as ExtraLabs Software’s Feed Editor or NotePage’s FeedforAll, are the softwares for creating RSS. You can do it by using feedburner.google.com

here is some info from me: "RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter"

Cheers
