What is a site feed?

When a blog is published, Blogger automatically generates a machine-readable representation of your blog that can be picked up and displayed on other web sites and information aggregation tools.

Special pieces of software called Newsreaders (or Aggregators) can scan these feeds, automatically letting you know when the sites have updated. Examples are FeedDemon (Windows), Bloglines (web-based), and NetNewsWire and Shrook (Mac OS X). More are listed at AtomEnabled.org.

One reason to syndicate a blog is to gain a wider audience by attracting aggregator users. Other reasons are discussed at WebMonkey, Software Garden and Mezzoblue.
