Why use RSS?

"RSS, and especially RSS 2.0, are very much entrenched in the feed 'industry.' Atom hasn't taken off because it doesn't bring much except a new name. Why switch away from RSS when it works just fine? And why even bother using Atom on new projects if RSS is sufficient? Switching to a new feed format mostly means extra time spent learning the new format."

这篇文章和底下的讨论都很有意思。
有时候人们建立一套套标准，却忘了创造它是为了什么。

RSS不能用XML-RPC发布内容，ATOM有一套API可以用作发布。
RO和RW还是有很大区别的。

@GordianZ Atom 不是和 XML-RPC 是两种不同的标准吗……
当然除去供稿，Atom 比 RSS 拥有更多功能

@vayn ATOM有个类似XML-RPC的ATOM posting
