RSS is a family of web feed formats, specified in XML and used for Web syndication. RSS is used by (among other things) news Web sites, weblogs and podcasting.
Web feeds provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other metadata. RSS, in particular, delivers this information as an XML file called an RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, web feeds allow a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator.

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
RSS-aware programs called news aggregators are popular in the weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them.

Benefit is users can pull in the current set of stuff from your site programmatically and never actually visit.
An RSS feed is a formatted XML file of the 'things' on your site. Typical uses are latest articles, items for sale, etc....
It would make sense to have more than one if you had different categories of things.

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide number of people. It is used by computer programs that organize those headlines and notices for easy reading.

So, what is an RSS feed anyway? Nowadays, the internet has become a great part of most people's lifestyle (mine included!). For some individuals, a daily routine is not complete without logging online. However, no matter how fun web surfing is, it tends to become too time consuming to check each of your favorite sites. It would definitely save you a lot of time if you can check every update and headline in
a single place. For those of you who don't know yet, it actually is possible!
Now, let's elaborate that further...
