Anybody use RSS feeds?

I have noticed them on certain sites, but am not sure the best to configure and use them.

One sight in particular is Craigslist. Will using feeds push new listings to my desktop, or is there an apps that is better to use?

It appears that they can take content from different sources and push it to one location?

Re: Web Page RSS Feeds

It's a pretty cool thing. I don't use it but I should. How it works is you're bookmarking a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) file which you're browser (or RSS reader) can parse. When the remote site changes the file (but not the filename), your browser (or RSS reader) picks up the changes.
