To continue my exploration for a good "real user" description of RSS I turned to Wkiipedia. Their definition includes these statements:

...the news media is utilizing RSS by bypassing traditional news sources. Consumers and journalists are now able to have news constantly fed to them instead of searching for it.

A program known as a feed reader or aggregator can check a list of feeds on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that it finds. ...

These highlight a very important advantage of RSS over the more traditional emailed newsletters. An RSS subscription does not require you to give out your email address. Thus you will get no spam.
