Xbox 360 (Live and Gold)

Ok, we bought the kids an xbox 360 and I signed up for the first month (free trial)

What exactly does this do, I understand he can now play other players online, is there more to this?

Thanks in Advance

You can also visit the store (Marketplace?) and get lots of game demos and even some free games.
It's been a couple of years since I subscribed to Gold but I think recently you get a free game every month, it's probably highlighted in the store but if not I'll look into it for you.
