I've seen RSS stand for Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary and Really Simple Syndication. Bascially RSS is a way to syndicate and publish web content in a format that is can be easily aggregated by applications like Feedreader and other news readers. The State of Utah has a very good tutorial that describes RSS and its uses, along with an expaination how to create, validate, parse, publish, and syndicate your own RSS content.
