While RSS and Atom are web syndication methods, with the former being more popular as a syndication method for podcasts, SMIL is potentially useful as a script or playlist that can tie sequential pieces of multimedia together and can then be syndicated through RSS or Atom.

In addition, the combination of multimedia-laden. smil files with RSS or Atom syndication would be useful for accessibility to audio-enabled podcasts by the deaf through Timed Text closed captions, and can also turn multimedia into hypermedia that can be hyperlinked to other linkable audio and video multimedia.

One product of that contentious debate was the creation of an alternative syndication format, Atom, that began in June 2003.

This effectively made the orange square with white radio waves the industry standard for RSS and Atom feeds, replacing the large variety of icons and text that had been used previously to identify syndication data.

Technically, Atom should be considered the more advanced syndication format between the two.

* syndication, using RSS or Atom newsfeeds-external newsfeeds can be displayed in a course, and forums, blogs, and other features can be made available to others as newsfeeds.

The Atom syndication format was published as an IETF proposed standard in RFC 4287 ( December 2005 ), and the Atom Publishing Protocol was published as RFC 5023 ( October 2007 ).

Atom and other web syndication formats are now used for many purposes, including journalism, marketing, bug-reports, or any other activity involving periodic updates or publications.

Atom is a web syndication format developed to address perceived deficiencies with the RSS 2. 0 format.

Permalinks have subsequently been exploited for a number of innovations, including link tracing and link trackback in weblogs, and referring to specific weblog entries in RSS or Atom syndication streams

In syndication, Atom Ant aired alongside Precious Pupp and The Hillbilly Bears.

Video logs ( vlogs ) also often take advantage of web syndication to allow for the distribution of video over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for automatic aggregation and playback on mobile devices and personal computers ( See video podcast ).

: Outside of the enterprise environment, on the other hand, the pub / sub paradigm has proven its scalability to volumes far beyond those of a single data centre, providing Internet-wide distributed messaging through web syndication protocols such as RSS and Atom ( standard ).

; Content syndication: CMS software often assists in content distribution by generating RSS and Atom data feeds to other systems.

* web-broadcast syndication tools ( RSS and Atom )

These figures, however, do not include usage of the rival web feed format Atom.

The Atom format was developed as an alternative to RSS.

Ben Trott, an advocate of the new format that became Atom, believed that RSS had limitations and flaws — such as lack of on-going innovation and its necessity to remain backward compatible — and that there were advantages to a fresh design.

Proponents of the new format formed the IETF Atom Publishing Format and Protocol Workgroup.

In particular, many blog and wiki sites offer their web feeds in the Atom format.

The Blogspace description of using web feeds in an aggregator, for example, is headlined " RSS info " and " RSS readers " even though its first sentence makes clear the inclusion of the Atom format: " RSS and Atom files provide news updates from a website in a simple form for your computer.

It supports the major feed formats including RSS / RDF and Atom and can import and export subscription lists in OPML format.

Combining SMIL + VoiceXML or SMIL + MusicXML with RSS or Atom could be useful in the creation of an audible pseudo-podcast with embedded hyperlinks, while combining SMIL + SVG with VoiceXML and / or MusicXML would be useful in the creation of an automatically audio-enabled vector graphics animation with embedded hyperlinks.

Fox also penned the reinvention of the new Atom, who debuted in Showcase # 34 ( Sep-Oct, 1961 ) with art by Gil Kane three years after his creation of sci-fi hero Adam Strange, who debuted in # 17 ( Nov, 1958 ) with art by Mike Sekowsky.

The Acorn Atom was a home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd from 1980 to 1982 when it was replaced by the BBC Micro ( originally Proton ) and later the Acorn Electron.

The Atom was a progression of the MOS Technology 6502 based machines that the company had been making from 1979.

The Atom was a cut-down Acorn System 3 without a disk drive but with an integral keyboard and cassette tape interface, sold in either kit or complete form.

The bottom kilobyte of memory was used by the CPU for stack storage, by the OS, and by the Atom BASIC for variable storage of the 27 variables.

The upgrade was purely to the programming language ; the Atom's graphics and sound capabilities remained unchanged, and hence, contrary to some pre-release beliefs, the BBC BASIC ROM did not allow Atom users to run commercial BBC Micro software, since nearly all of it took advantage of the BBC machine's advanced graphics and sound hardware.

The manual for the Atom was called Atomic theory and practice.

The Acorn LAN, Econet, was first configured on the Atom.

The front-side bus was used in all of Intel's Atom, Celeron, Pentium, Core 2, and Xeon processor models through about 2008.
