Thinking XML: Use the Atom format for syndicating news and more
The Web has always included sites that present series of articles, events, and other postings which are meant to be shared and cross-referenced. With large parts of the Web becoming conversational communities, many in these communities have come together to work on an XML-based standard for such interchange and cross-reference. Atom is the product of this effort — a format and API for exchanging Web metadata.
These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
