With ever changing content on the websites, like blogs RSS is used to organize their content on an organized fashion.
So that is RSS? RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. "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. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News."-http://www.whatisrss.com/
