It’s just data

Atom in a sea of RSS


Slides for an internal presentation.

I was invited in order to help advocate that certain applications provide Atom feeds in addition to RSS feeds.  I’ve declined to do so, as I now feel that every feed should be provided in exactly one feed format, preferably with an x.0 version number.  If your feed is valid and you are aware of — and have a strategy of coping with — the limitations of the feed format you selected, peace be with you.

Note: at the moment, it works in Firefox.  It doesn’t work in IE, and until I figure out why, I presume that it is my fault that it does not.  I’ll look into it when I get a chance, but for now LazyWeb suggestions are welcome.
