The Courtship of Atom Atom is the name of the community driven alternative to RSS that developed in response to the endless conflicts over RSS. Adopted by Google's Blogger system and other major players, it is a viable candidate to replace RSS (eventually) for a number of reasons. As this article notes, however, the weakness of the community driven model is that there is no means of resolving disputes - this is, in fact, exactly what encumbered RSS. So the people behind Atom are talking with the people behind the World Wide Web Consortium about having the W3C take on Atom as a specification.
