Would you mind letting people know about the ATOM format as well? The sentence
1. What is a feed? (a.k.a. RSS)
is wrong. It is not "a.k.a. RSS". It must be "What is Really Simple Syndication (a.k.a. RSS)?"
ATOM, in many, but not all cases, is superior, since it allows for easy extensibility. Should people be made aware of Feed technology, I would love them not learn to associate it with RSS, but understand, that there is also ATOM, which even has derivates, namely OPL and ODPS. There also exists a PubSub type API for ATOM.
Thank you.
- mro_name 6y agoand Atom actually is well defined (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287 etc.), while RSS is just a mess. There's many of them and no RFC or similar.
