You can get the answer from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_feed

 

RSS feeds are samples, excerpts of your content, presented in a strictly formed XML format.
Submitting these feeds to RSS directories is a means of distributing such content across the web and the result is beneficial because once distributed you are gaining links.
Pinging an RSS feed means announcing that you have updated content and the search bots that index such feeds are about to come and "grab" it; which is again beneficial because it's saving time on discovering when you have updates.

 

Its data giving in txt format to other sites (legally)

and thats how you can take them (php):

$ch = curl_init('http://****.xml');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$rss = new SimpleXMLElement(curl_exec($ch));

foreach($rss->channel->item as $node)
{
$title = mysql_real_escape_string($node->title);
$desc = mysql_real_escape_string($node->description);
$link = mysql_real_escape_string($node->link);
$channel = mysql_real_escape_string($rss->channel->link);
$pubDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($node->pubDate));
}
