Advanced Functions.
The Tag is used when you are displaying different areas on the front end, by setting up pages that display listings tagged with "x" you can create different pages for your listings manager.

RSS: Included in the listings manager are several RSS feeds automatically generated.  Each listings page has an RSS feed at the top which allows your users to subscribe to your listings (also great for aggregating your listings onto other sites and into widgets).  Additionally, each individual listing has an RSS feed that users can subscribe to which will update them to any changes (new photo's, changes of price etc...)
