More is Less

Why do people still offer both RSS and Atom links???
More choices do not improve usability — they diminish it.
Pick one and drop the other. Your blog does not need both. I chose to remove RSS, by the way.
Hey Eric, we have a couple of local blogs our manager’s use as a communication tool. I see the RSS|ATOM button, and the XML it produces shows content. But if I subscribe to the RSS feed using a simple tool like RSS Ticker, I don’t see the updates. Did you have to configure your BLOG to submit updates so tools like RSS Ticker work for your blog? Obviously, yours is working.
We use Pebble 2.0.1.
I took away my RSS feed icon from my blog.

This philosophy would seem to suggest that the quality of PC software (more choices) will, in general, be lower than that of Mac software (fewer choices)…
