There's a good weblog run by Steve Stroh on Wifi. We used to read the headlines into the WiFi TN as part of the Dailenews.

I discovered today that he's moved to Blogger as a weblogging platform. And the blog now only exports headlines in the new Atom format and not RSS.

This makes me really angry. We're just at the point where RSS is getting some real traction with sites like the BBC producing it when the standard fragments and we have competitors. This means that I now have to go and write more code to read and parse another standard. Or simply ignore it which is what I will probably do until I absolutely have to have some feed or other that's only available in Atom.

IMHO. Google as owners of Blogger and Blogger themselves are doing the internet community a major disservice by not supporting the de facto standard as well as the new one. "We're not evil" Yeah, right. [from: JB Ecademy]
