It gives a website easy ways to alert 'subscribers' when a new post is made (blogs, news sites, review sites, etc).

Eclipse's Movie Reviews
EllaLovesYou and xSolox are the best, by far.

Let me ask you, do machines ever experience FEAR?!

Short answer: Many sites offer RSS feeds, so you can read posts on the site without having to actually go to the site itself.  All you need is an RSS reader or a website such as Google or Yahoo that can handle a RSS feed.  

Basically, it's getting the story to go to you, instead of you having to go to the story.

I think it's like you subscribe to a site and they send you emails or something when the site is updated.

Content feeds

You use an RSS reader and it will notify you when there is something new.

Some sites also use them for media. For instance, one torrent site I use that specializes in TV shows has an RSS feed of your favorite shows. That way whenever a new episode is released, it will automatically download it.
