Why use RSS when we have Atom? Besides the feel RSS somehow sounds better.



In certain contexts (like blog articles that aren't dealing with implementation specifics) I use "RSS" to mean "Atom/RSS", same as how "classical music" in many contexts also includes music from the baroque and romantic periods. I used "Atom/RSS" for a while, but recently my feeling is "eh".


I see. Thank you for a clarification.
