How to Convert the Atom to RSS
The growing popularity of blogging and social networking has paved the way for Web feed adoption as users require an easy way to parse such a broad array of information streams. Web feed technology like Real Simple Syndication (RSS) and Atom have made it possible to receive updates from blogs, social networks and websites like Twitter in a centralized location so that the updates can be more easily read. As RSS was the original feed delivery format, some feed reading programs and Internet applications are only compatible with RSS, making it necessary to convert Atom feeds if RSS is not available. There are numerous Web services that can easily convert Atom feeds to RSS in just a few minutes.
