Google spurns RSS for rising blog format - News - ZDNet  

Google's Blogger service is bypassing Really Simple Syndication in 
favor of an alternative technology, a move that has sparked more 
discord in a bitter dispute over Web log syndication formats. The 
search giant, which acquired Blogger.com last year, began allowing 
the service's million-plus members to syndicate their online diaries 
to other Web sites last month. To implement the feature, it chose the 
new Atom format instead of the widely used, older RSS.  

The battle between RSS and Atom has divided the blogging world since 
the summer, when critics of RSS came together to create an 
alternative format. Since then, a raft of blog sites and individuals 
have lined up behind Atom, while Yahoo has thrown its considerable 
weight behind RSS. The Blogger decision to offer Atom only has 
angered supporters of RSS, who accuse Google of helping to splinter a 
wide network of RSS-using bloggers.
