Atom Support
I found this post via a Feedster search for BottomFeeder I use to see stuff I might otherwise miss. I noticed that there was a reported issue with the Atom support - and sure enough, it wasn't quite right. It turns out that the Blogger Atom feeds are set up slightly differently from the ones I tested against (off the Atom Wiki). This is what I love about early adoption of in-development specs - everyone goes their own way, and tool builders end up having to support all the variations. In any event, I just posted an update to the Atom support in the Dev stream for Bf; I may try to extract it for the normal update stream as well.

Don't Be Evil
For a company whose motto is don't be evil, Google's drop of RSS support is quite troubling. Atom is both an API and a format. I could understand a move to the Atom API. I could even understand a migration to the Atom format. But I just don't understand the need to drop RSS support. Readers and aggregator developers are potential losers. But who are the potential winners?...
