A Little information about RSS and Feeds is given below for your convenience.

RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to gather and distribute frequently updated content from sources across the Web such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts.

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:
  Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
  Resource Description Framework Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
  Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91).

A web feed (or news feed) is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. Making a collection of web feeds accessible in one spot is known as aggregation, which is performed by an Internet aggregator. Millions of online publishers, including newspapers, commercial websites, blogs and podcasters, now publish their latest news headlines, product offers or blog postings in standard format news feed.
Benefits and Advantages of Web Feeds:
  Some advantages of Web Feeds when compared to receiving frequently published content via email:
   When subscribing to a feed, you do not disclose your email address, so you are not increasing your exposure to threats associated with email, such as: spam, viruses, phishing, and identity theft.
   If you want to stop receiving news, or updates, you do not have to send an "unsubscribe" request; you can simply remove the feed from your aggregator.
   The feed items are automatically "sorted" in the sense that each feed URL has its own sets of entries (unlike an email box, where all mails are in one big pile and email programs have to resort to complicated rules and pattern matching).

A "Feed Reader" is required for using Web Feeds. This tool works like an automated e-mail program, but no e-mail address is required. The user subscribes to a particular web feed, and thereafter receives updated content, every time there is an update. Feed Readers may be online (like a webmail account) or offline. Recently a number of mobile readers have arrived to the market. An offline web feed is downloaded to the user's system. Feed readers are used in personalized home page services like iGoogle or My Yahoo or My MSN to put content such as news, weather and stock quotes appear on the user’s personal page.
Web-based aggregators are applications that reside on remote servers and are typically available as Web applications such as Google Reader or Bloglines. Because the application is available via the Web, it can be accessed anywhere by a user with an Internet connection.
Client software aggregators are installed applications designed to collect Web feed subscriptions and group them together using a user-friendly interface.
