Atom Feeds

NetNewsWire 2.0 reads Atom feeds as well as RSS feeds.

Atom is a new syndication format, similar to RSS but with a different set of strengths and weaknesses. To find out more, see AtomEnabled.org online.

When NetNewsWire looks for the feed for a site—when it does feed auto-discovery—it may find an Atom feed instead of an RSS feed. NetNewsWire uses whichever it finds first.
