SSE or Simple Shared Extensions extends RSS flows to being bi-directional. (Not to be confused with Scottish and Southern Energy)
What this means is you will be able to share your data with anyone no matter the device or OS easily. Massive potiential.
Is this an alternative to Web Services? Well not really as web service and SSE are actually going to be in different leagues and don't entirely overlap, for example SSE is not design to have authentication, whilst Web Services with WS-Security is going to be locked down tighter than a ducks butt.
Anyway, a FAQ can be found here.
