I’ve read or skimmed lots of articles about Google Chrome this week, most of which focus on features – the portability of tabs, the minimalist browser panes, the speed of loading pages, … or lack thereof – synch, linux support, etc. The best post I’ve seen is The cloud’s Chrome lining written on Nicholas Carr’s […]
Just this week I was talking with some colleagues about Atom and its applicability to representing content types other than blog entries and news articles and at the same time a query came over the atom syntax mailing list asking about feeds of non-blog content for use in mashups.
