RSS is an acronym, which stands for Really Simple Syndication and sometimes it is also referred to as Rich Site Summary. It is essentially a tool you can use to have news related headlines and announcements, delivered directly to you, rather than having to go look for it. RSS makes use of a certain code that constantly scans a website for updated content and then broadcasts those updates to all subscribers through a feed.

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.
Users of RSS content use programs called feed 'readers' or 'aggregators': the user 'subscribes' to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.

It is Really Simple Syndication and is a way to put feeds onto your web pages. If you have a My Yahoo or Google page you can customize it to show various feeds such as Yahoo Answers or Local News, etc.
