...instead of using the Atom syndication format? Atom is a well-defined, general-purpose XML syndication format. RSS is fractured into four different versions. All the major feed readers have supported Atom for as long as I can remember, so why isn't its use more prevalent? Worst of all are sites that provide feeds in both formats - wh...
I wondered if anyone can give an example of a professional use of RSS/Atom feeds in a company product. Does anyone use feeds for other things than updating news? For example, did you create a product that gives results as RSS/Atom feeds? Like price listings or current inventory, or maybe dates of training lessons? Or am I thinking in a...

I'm trying to add support for stackoverflow feeds in my rss reader but SelectNodes and SelectSingleNode have no effect. This is probably something to do with ATOM and xml namespaces that I just don't understand yet.

We use RSS.Net (old and not maintained, but there's a more recent fork) to parse RSS feeds. We wrote a similar library to parse Atom feeds and managed to extract a common interface from both, this way we don't really care what sort of feed it is. Is there something like that already "out there"? ...
The default rails XML builder escapes all html so something like: atom_feed do |feed| @stories.each do |story| feed.entry story do |entry| entry.title story.title entry.content "<b>foo</b>" end end end will produce the text: <b>foo</b> instead of: foo Is there any way to instruct the XML builder ...

I am working on a project that requires reliable access to historic feed entries not necessarily available in the current feed of the website. I have found several ways to access such data, but none of them give me all the characteristics I need. Look at this as a brainstorm. I will tell you how much I have found and you can contribute ...
Hello, I have to produce RSS/Atom feed in various applications, and I want to know a good lib/class wich is able to produce both, and which already handle all common problems. For example the one I used for year does not put the right format for date, so my feed is not well handled by several aggregators. Thanks, Cédric Update : W...

Does anyone know where to find a good, opensource RSS reader in Flash? I see lots that implement RSS or ATOM or RSS2, but none that do all of the different RSS style formats out there. I'd prefer to keep this in Flash, as I'm trying to keep this so it'll run with minimal server requirements... Requirements: - Parses RSS1/RSS2/ATOM/RDF, ...

Published Date returned from Twitter Search API Atom Feed as 2008-11-03T21:30:06Z which needs to be converted to "X seconds/minutes/hours/days ago" for showing how long ago twitter messages were posted. Think this can be done with php date() function using DATE_ATOM value? ...
I run a feed aggregator (http://planetdb2.com/) and I need to aggregate both prolific (many posts a day) and less prolific (one post a day at most) feeds. Creating a daily digest -- one post summary of the day's posts -- seems like the best solution. There's a way to create a daily digest just for Twitter feeds via Yahoo Pipes, but it...
