The Proprietary Syndication Formats

Guess which format is going to outlast all these proprietary syndication formats. I’d say RSS, which I believe to be true, but really, it’s HTML.

Chris didn't even mention Atom, the other XML-based standard for feeds… the one I use. 😔


  1. Étrange hasard, magie de la sérendipité, je lisais « ainsi va la vie, en attendant le tsunami » chez Karl juste quelques minutes après avoir publié…

  2. New rule: if your RSS/Atom feed doesn't contain the full content, I don't subscribe.

    I want to be able to read feeds in my feed reader when offline, so I will not lose time to load empty feeds anymore. 😡
