    RSS feed is a content distribution system for websites that update often (such as blogs). People use a particular blogs RSS feed, so they don't need to visit each of the site to read it's updates. This way they may read more than one site too.

    You can not import RSS feed to Wordpress. WP blogs already have a RSS feed by itself. It should be something like http://yourblog.com/feed/

    What you want is called scraping. It means pulling RSS feeds of other blogs and publishing them on your blogs as it was yours. That is not a good think for the blog owners, from who you scrap the content, because can leade to search engine penalisation for duplicate content. That's why I won't help you in here.

    Yes they work via RSS as I mentioned. They pull the RSS feeds of other blogs and post it to yours automatically in lets say every hour. Then you don't need to worry about updating your blog, but this method is too unethical and worthless imo.
