A good article in PR Week about RSS. Its thrust is aimed at PR and marketing professionals but there are some good descriptions of RSS and its uses. Makes an overdue point about ineffectiveness of email and web-sites.

RSS, which stands for real simple syndication, has begun to extend past early adopters. The essence of RSS is that it brings websites to the user, who otherwise has to chase the website. In order to enable this, you need the website that you wish to view to provide RSS feeds and a piece of software that can read those feeds.

Worth a glance. At least they quote Dave Winer.
