Google spurns RSS for rising blog format - News - ZDNet
Google's Blogger service is bypassing Really Simple Syndication in
favor of an alternative technology, a move that has sparked more
discord in a bitter dispute over Web log syndication formats. The
search giant, which acquired Blogger.com last year, began allowing
the service's million-plus members to syndicate their online diaries
to other Web sites last month. To implement the feature, it chose the
new Atom format instead of the widely used, older RSS.
The battle between RSS and Atom has divided the blogging world since
the summer, when critics of RSS came together to create an
alternative format. Since then, a raft of blog sites and individuals
have lined up behind Atom, while Yahoo has thrown its considerable
weight behind RSS. The Blogger decision to offer Atom only has
angered supporters of RSS, who accuse Google of helping to splinter a
wide network of RSS-using bloggers.
