    Hope it helps:

    [there are now two basic formats for syndicating a web site. RSS is older with many different versions, Atom is newer, more standard, and only beginning to be adopted. Atom was constructed to work across a wide variety of platforms and devices.][http://www.commoncraft.com/archives/000592.html]

    [Atom is a well designed standard which supports a number of things that RSS can't handle.

    RSS is a group of specifications which were developed largely independently.

    I'd go with Atom.][http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080502082422AASBrKy]

    They are both defined standards for syndicating content. Atom is probably a better specification because it can contain more info, but Atom is far less popular than RSS. RSS is really the defacto standard for content syndication.
