Marc Canter has an interesting post where he talks about houw Google is building a moustrap and trying to force its programming model on developers(kinda).
I fully agree, Marc, except on one point.
Then when it comes to reinventing RSS, go for it. Provide support,
resources and even house the meetings on your campus for Atom - the
so-called next generation protocol. So far so good. No one is gonna
complain about that - right?
Atom is actually better than RSS, however google should have extended RSS rather than reinvent a totally new feed format.
I am doing RSS Vs ATOM kinda study these days will talk more about in comming days.
However, it is really haertning to see that someone is really taking note of it. We do not want another Micro$soft taking holding us hostage. We should remember the age old saying
Do not put all you eggs in one basket
