Here the answer:

What Is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) provides a convenient way to syndicate information from a variety of sources, including articles, latest updates, news or even source code check-ins for a development project!!!

What is Atom?

Atom is an XML-based file format intended to allow lists of information, known as "feeds", to be synchronised between publishers and consumers.

Few RSS/Atom Aggregator for Windows:

SharpReader,
FeedReader
AmphetaDesk,
NewsGator.

My favorite is SharpReader. If you install this program and subscribe to the respective RSS, you can see the update of all those sites in one place.
