Counters are used by many people in many ways. As the name suggests, they count. They can count the number of individual hits a particular site or page gets or they can count each individual IP address and so on. They can count how many times a particular 'user' goes onto a page.
Often they are used by larger companies for their own research but they can also be used by regular internet users (often as an ego boost ;P).
Some other ways of counting or analysing the movements about a web page can come from online free programs such as Omnature and the Google analytics.
RSS or Really Simple Sindication is a web feed format that is used to publish things that are regularly updated eg. News articles, blogs, audio entries etc. RSS enables subscribed users to receive news of an update without having to actually visit the related site.
Google reader is capable of these actions both on and offline(using Google Gears). Google gears is "a browser extension that lets online applications work offline. Users who have installed the extension can download up to 2000 items to be read offline. After coming back online, Google Reader updates the feeds."
