RSS is a format for distributing web content which is gaining rapid 
acceptance.  It was pioneered by blog providers and is now used by 
practically every major news organization.  It is beginning to be looked at 
by other sorts of content providers because it is so darn useful.  You pick 
the feeds you want to subscribe to, you categorize the feeds however you 
like, and your news aggregator will monitor them for you, collect the 
articles you haven't read yet, and link you back to source material.

Here's the wiki on RSS:

free):
