RFC 4287: Atom Format

2005-12-06 10:16

Atom is now a proper standard. Time to ditch RSS, everyone. Read and convert — RFC 4287: Atom Format.

(And I’ll say as Anne: My name in a RFC. Yay!)

Why Yahoo's marriage of RSS and e-mail could be an antispam breakthrough

Link: Why Yahoo's marriage of RSS and e-mail could be an antispam breakthrough

Richard Bliss once said:

What if e-mail was re-architected so that, instead the keeping e-mail on the recipient’s system prior to opening it (the way e-mail basically works today), e-mail was kept on the sender’s system?

I have mentioned something similar to people before, and they have pretty much thought I was insane, but I do truly believe that moving mail from a store-and-forward model to the store-and-get model a better one. We do need a few associated technologies, though:

  • We need FOAF
  • We need a publishing protocol. Atom provides that
  • We need a consistent format. RSS is not — We need Atom

Get rid of the orange XML icon

I tend not to agree with Dave Winer on everything, but this is something I agree 100% with. The omnipresent orange “XML” logo sucks. Maybe not for tech geeks, but for regular people. They don’t care about technology, but what they can do with it.

When I finally get around to fixing the design on this site, I won’t add the orange “XML”, but I might just add an orange “Subscribe!”.

Atom is about to go 1.0 very, very, very soon now.

R.I.P. RSS

2005-06-03 23:44

I have for a long time had feeds in multiple formats. This is no longer the case: Every feed is now in the most widely implemented version of the Atom format, most commonly refered to as Atom 0.3. This is to facilitate easier subscription for users, and to have better options for further extending the site with new features.

Atom/RDF/RSS content-negotiation survey

2005-01-19 01:03 – 12 comments

Cool URIs don't change. That's also why newsfeeds should have exactly one URI, and only one URI. HTTP has accepted methods of negotiating content through Accept: headers and q-values for content types. This is a survey with the goal of finding out how aggregators are handling this. Do they send out the correct q-values, and get the appropriate feed in return?

It seems that the-project-to-end-all-syndication-wars has finally gone and gotten itself a new name. The new name seems to be _Atom_—so now you all can look forward to _atomizing_ your sites.
