According to Wikipedia, the RSS-DEV group created RSS 1.0 in December 2000. While the technology has been available for nearly six years and mainstream for at least two or three years, I have only recently started producing and consuming RSS feeds.
RSS feeds have several pros and cons. On the pro-side, RSS makes it very easy to aggregate content from multiple sources; however, on the con-side, the RSS aggregators often download RSS feeds that are never viewed by a human leading to large amounts of wasted bandwidth.
