Comments on: Atomizing FeedBurner? http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/04/25/atomizing-feedburner/ because technology is just another ecosystem Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:19:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Donnie Berkholz http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2006/04/25/atomizing-feedburner/comment-page-1/#comment-1921 Donnie Berkholz Wed, 03 May 2006 07:09:43 +0000 http://redmonk.com/sogrady/wp/?p=814#comment-1921 I used to read feeds w/ Blam, and it caught dupes like this. After switching to Liferea, it no longer did, but I found prioritization more valuable (Blam lacked that). Choices I wish I didn't have to make. PS: If you hadn't noticed, not all my posts show up on Planet Gentoo, only the '[Gentoo]'-tagged ones. Subscribe to the Universe for everything.

Alex: mission accomplished. now i'm waiting for the guid post ;) Tim: i'll let Alex spill the beans, but apparently there's at least one example of a very notable service provider issuing completely useless guids that are completely transient. Robert: what's the approach then? flag the feed? Eric: thanks very much for the clarification. should have noticed the convert format feature.

Atom comes with all this stern anal pedantic lecturing about "Your IDs must be unique, we mean it man!" - which now seems to be paying off.

If you'd really like to force a particular format, you can disable the SmartFeed service and choose the "Convert Format" service. Select your favorite flavor if you'd like to experiment. Feel free to switch over to Niall's Atom 1.0 template -- it should work just fine, though your readers might feel an initial "bump" with some of your old items being marked as modified. Other that that, though, it should be no problem. Eric Lunt CTO, FeedBurner Hey there Stephen.
