Now, have any of you tried explaining to your parents what the difference between RSS 2.0\/1.0\/Atom are? I suggest you try it. As far as syndication format goes, let me tell you what I feel. I DONT CARE. As far as I know, I hit &#8216;Subscribe&#8217; in my aggregator..and I see a bunch of posts on the left pane and a bunch of text on the right pane.<br \/>\n<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAmen to that.   When it comes to blogs I find it more enjoyable to be:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reading them<\/li>\n<li>Finding new ones to subscribe to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nHowever, when it comes to the techie wankery of HOW the blogs work.  I want to know as little of it as possible.   I don&#8217;t need a metric ton of philosophy about the format and ontologies and whatever fancy terms you can dream up.  What I&#8217;d really like to know that there&#8217;s some de facto subscription system that I can use and not have to worry about matching acronyms.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cincomsmalltalk.com\/blog\/blogView?showComments=true&amp;entry=3254984145\">Smalltalk with Rants<\/a> for the link.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dotnetjunkies.com\/WebLog\/sriram\/archive\/2004\/02\/22\/7743.aspx\">Link to Commentary<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh man this is the funniest post I&#8217;ve seen in awhile.
