Use Atom? ~ <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287" rel="nofollow">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287</a><p><i>"... I thought it is a great time to talk about why I think RSS is "broken" and in it's current form isn't sustainable over the long-term. Before I begin let me state that I like what RSS offers a lot and do read several feeds. Let's look at RSS from two different "broken" angles: subscribers/metrics and marketing ..."</i><p>Eek! From the same author who bought you, <i>"Is Scribd a Porn Document Network?"</i>, <a href="http://www.centernetworks.com/scribd-porn-document-network" rel="nofollow">http://www.centernetworks.com/scribd-porn-document-network</a> <p>There is no real discussion of how RSS is broken or how to fix it. Instead of reading this authors comments try listening to Tim Bray [0] ( co-creator of Atom spec ) who talks about building Atom, a replacement for a broken RSS. and the dynamics of online collaboration.<p>[0] Tim Bray, <i>"Atom As A Case Study", 36min 17Mb</i><p><a href="http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail1155.html" rel="nofollow">http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail1155.html</a> <p>

That my news reader tells you nothing about me is a feature, not a bug.

Yes, the solution to 9-10 mutually incompatible syndication formats is to introduce a NEW mutually incompatible syndication format -- one riddled with adware. That'll go over like a fucking lead balloon with users!<p>And think of the $$$! We gettin' hella paper all up in this piece, son!
