If you subscribe to the RSS feeds of web sites, it notifies you when there are new articles on the web site.
For example, I subscribe to RSS feeds of my friends blogs. So I check my RSS reader to see if there are new articles on their blog. I don't need to open each blog page one by one to see. It's like checking the mailbox for new mails.
I subscribe to certain types of news on NZ Herald. For exmaple, if there's a new article about "Chinese in New Zealand". I'll see the feed in my RSS reader.
I start to use it to subscribe it to job web site too. So I get notified when a new job get posted.
(A Screenshot of Google Reader)To get started, you need a RSS reader/aggregator. You might try one of these:
Google Reader
http://www.google.com/reader/
SharpReader
http://www.sharpreader.net/
I use Google Reader nowadays because it is web based, so I can move between computers without setting up all the feeds again.

ND, yes this blog has RSS feed.
Me, heavy RSS user? Not really. I guess you can easily surpass that. It's easy to imagine somebody subscribing hundreds of RSS feeds.
