RSS and Atom feeds, which to use

Just out of curiosity, I’m wondering what other people are doing for site feeds. Are you including both Atom and RSS feeds, or one or the other? Or are you using some other solution? I’ve been including both, but I wonder if there is much of a point to doing that.

It’s only of use if people are using them or a client requests them. Atom is pretty good, but i have never included an Atom feed just use RSS.

It doesn’t hurt to provide both.

Thanks zizther. I rarely open my news reader anymore. I’m not sure feeds are all that useful for most of the sites I work on. They might be useful on a content-heavy site with frequent updates and many different sections. I plan to just add RSS in the future.
