I tend to prefer to use the Atom feed, unless there's some media attachments embedded in the RSS feed that doesn't show up. The more carefully designed Atom feed handles things like updates. The non-standard, but more rapidly moving RSS spec adopts newer technologies faster. @dontai In theory, Atom is a more complete standard than RSS.
