RSS and Atom compared
Tim Bray is Sun’s man on the ground for all things RSS… oppss.. XML based content syndication protocols. While
most users don’t really care, Atom is hailed to be the successor by many to RSS, something about it being a standard. I
think it all depends on how well Atom can beat the RSS mindshare esp. with Microsoft throwing its support being it and
how quickly it can innovate to deliver a killer app, service. Meanwhile, Tim has this little page that maps all the
differences, most feed readers are feed format agnostic and work with both standards relagating the format’s importance
to a geek curosity by most NewsReader users.
