It stands for "Really Simple Syndication". Coined by Dave Winer, it has really picked up recently. Its about opting into getting content delivered whenever updates are available. Somewhat like email lists but bit beyond. Look for RSS and specs on google to find quite a bit.

Basically, it's a collection of items, usually news headlines. It's been a
great format to condense the news headlines of a site so that other sites
can pick them up (like when you want to display CNN news headlines on your
site if they supply the RSS feed).

Hope this helps,

The latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 has a RSS reader built-in.

Cool.
