Atom Media Extensions for Activity Streams
Dare Obasanjo: We have a similar problem when importing arbitrary RSS/Atom feeds onto a user’s profile in Windows Live ... What I like about the first draft of Atom media extensions is that it is focused on the basic case of syndicating audio, video and image for use in activity streams ... The interesting question is how to get the photo sites out there to adopt consistent standards in this space?
If I may be so bold as to make a humble suggestion: implement them. Demonstrate the value. If WindowsLive, YouTube, and FriendFeed could join in on the discussion, this would be a slam dunk. Others would quickly follow.
