Bloglines will be supporting the Atom format. We don't have a choice. 
Blogger will only be publishing Atom feeds for their blogs. That's what, 
1 million plus feeds? It's not a question of which format's technically 
better, who's got a better personality, or what the phase of the moon 
is. If Blogger were to publish feeds using only carrier pidgeons, we'd 
have to build an aviary. Not giving our users the ability to subscribe 
to those feeds would be suicide. Of course, we still need to support the 
other formats, because those won't be going away.
