Why We Need Atom NowWhy We Need Atom NowWhy We Need Atom Now 04/04/2005 12:16 AM We’re getting real, real close to sending the Atom data-format draft off for general IETF review; the rest of the process can’t happen too fast for me, because there are two big problems that bite me every day that Atom will give the engineers the tools to fix...

His concern is that he won't be able to build a client that talks to a weblog server through his Java toolkit because it doesn't allow the HTTP methods the API calls for. Further, he notes that the spec, which was openly developed, has a restrictive copyright. The best answer is obvious, imho, use XML-RPC because it already has been adapted to and debugged in all the environments where blogging APIs need to run. By cutting almost to the bottom of the stack you will have to redo everything that took years to do. I think it's going to take longer to redo because XML-RPC didn't need to get any Java toolkits to change, it treaded more softly than the Atom does. There's a practical side to protocol and format design that's missing in the Atom API. The goal is to make it easy for developers to hop on the bandwagon and get them committed to developing for the platform. Putting unnecessary hurdles in the way unnecessarily limits adoption, and virtually guarantees either stagnation or massive breakage. I can't imagine that either choice is what Google is looking for. XML-RPC was designed for what they want to do and it's stood the test of time. Learn to love the pragmatic, it's how you're going to win the wars with Yahoo, Microsoft and everyone else who wants to eat your lunch.

Have AtomHave Atom 12/22/2003 09:07 AM At the moment this information will be useful to a small roomful of people, but this site is now serving an Atom 0.3 feed here. It should v alidate. I’d planned all along to fold Atom support into rhymes-with-vexed-slattern; I’ve finally got around to it now that the spec is looking pretty solid with version 0.3. For those to whom this is all Greek, Atom is a new form of AI technology that listens to all websites simultaneously, looking for anyone badmouthing you and those batting for your team; Atom responds by firing back custom-made insults and denunciations including but not limited to accusations of hypocrisy and pot-kettle-black. W3C wants AtomW3C wants Atom 05/13/2004 01:59 PM Looks like the W3C wants the Atom community to work through them. I'm undecided whether or not I'm for this. On the one hand, the W3C certainly has the tools to promote and document Atom. On the other hand, adding Atom to their semantic web effort could make Atom even more complex - and simplicity is what makes RSS so great, despite it's imprecise specification (via Scoble).

I haven't had a chance to really read the spec, but David has obviously put a lot of effort into it. Although I'm certainly not wild about yet another feed format, if SDF every gets widely used I'll support in FeedDemon.

View source to see how it was done. I then brought up the same page under IE, and it looks like IE didn't support a number of CSS features. Worse, it seems to be stripping and/or interpreting escaped markup. Finally, view source is not available. Poking around to see if there were any workarounds, I came across this article by Tim Bray from 3.5 years ago... Sigh.

Something to do with Atom and TypePadSomething to do with Atom and TypePad 02/19/2004 12:14 AM Typepad and iPhoto united with Atom. Atom is a powerful, open, RSS-like syndication format, but so far, not a lot has been done with it. Now, Deez Steeles has used Atom to ship an iPhoto-to-Typepad tool that directly exports pictures that are retouched, selected and organized in Apple's iPhoto to Movable Type's Typepad blogging service. That's pretty sweet. I'm digging the new Atom API interface to typepad. I have just completed a prototype of an iPhoto2Typepad interface. That means that its now possible to select photos in iPhoto and directly export into a Typepad Photo Album. This is basically my Holy Grail of digital photo convenience. Now the same program we use to import, and organise our pictures can send them right to Typep Link (via Dive Into Mark) [Boing Boing Blog] Coolio - we're getting closer. Too bad I don't blog with TypePad or use a Mac. But I do play one in a Soap Opera.

A few people mentioned that my rss feeds were broken even though they passed through the validator without errors, so I mangled them a bit tonight and also added an atom feed while I was at it. Atom is the result of the rss flamewars a few months ago and, while I couldn't care less about XML, atom does appear to have a saner format. I also tried out Shrook since I've not been entirely happy with Netnewswire and found that I really like it much better, especially the iTunes style of organisation and navigation of the feeds.
