Mastodon, Bluesky and Twitter should not be silos relative to each other. I’m starting to post links to Masto on Twitter, and links to Twitter on Bluesky. All combos. I realized I was, in my mind, assuming these were silos. I think other people do too. That’s not a good limit to impose, doesn’t work in our interests, as users and developers. #

Umm, whats wrong with his new feed? I was able to subscribe with google reader without a problem, smooth as ever. Isn’t that what matters?

This particular user doesn’t care whether a feed is RSS or Atom. I care if it works. And Ted’s feed works just fine with Sage.

I can read Ted’s feed just fine in FeedDemon. The problem is that the aggregator that you (Dave) are using (Radio? Manila?) must be the only one left in the world that doesn’t support Atom. Maybe it’s time to switch to something that supports ALL of the syndication standards.

You might really like feeds.reddit.com, Dave. It’s very similar to the reader it looks like you’re using.

In the time it took you to notice the new feed and rant about Atom you could have built-in support for it into your home grown news reader. The end user doesn’t care what format is under the hood, they just want their news. Since that’s the case, any news reader worth its weight has support for all common formats and that definitely includes Atom.

Dave: I’ve put up an RSS 2.0 feed for Ted’s blog.

Can’t guarantee it’ll always work, nor can I guarantee that it’ll do everything it should do.

Dave – are you serious? His feed moved to an Atom format and you won’t read it? How childish.

Dave – the google folks have been slowly rolling out a number of neat features.
In the case of the Docs/Spreadsheets… the feature i like is that you can leave the files in web space and collaboratively update read etc. Also you should check out MacFUSE http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
and their
GmailNotifier http://mail.google.com/mail/help/notifier/notifier_mac.html
enjoy…

Tom, so why bother then? I just don’t get it. There’s nothing wrong with Atom aside from Dave’s lack of notice that world does not revolve around RSS.
Posted by Tom Morris on January 30, 2007 at 3:25 pm
Boris: because I have a script to turn Atom in to RSS an it takes me fifteen seconds to set up…
Posted by Nick on January 30, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Davem why not use RSS for the contracts?
Posted by Dave Winer on January 30, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Thanks Tom, worked perfectly.

Dave,
I can understand the frustration about someone moving the URL of their feed.
But I’m not sure I’m hearing you right; are you saying that you won’t read the feeds of people who syndicate their content via Atom, period?
You know that I’ll try to persuade you otherwise if that is the case, but I don’t want to make that case if I’m simply misunderstanding you.

Great to see you listen to us here at Virgin Radio. (Yay!)
One quick question – does that mean that you had to ADD Virgin Radio to the service at radiodenon.com? It would be great to get our channels as presets on that service. Will go and play.

Virgin Radio was one of the choices they offered under United Kingdom.
I did not have to add it.
