Found on Don Park's: Funky Defined. The first time Don Box post valid and funky is good, I feel bad about my feed wasn't funky. But now I'm happy to be not funky according to Dave. Good RSS, easy to aggregate. Currently no reason to replace it. But following the discussions about Echo, e.g. here, most of the people think of Echo as an RSS (2.0) replacement, that's still the wrong point of view. The idea behind it was to propose a standard to post items and comments to blogs. If you are a w.bloggar user (like me) you may have seen the setup screen with a huge list of different blogger backend API's. That's the point: the whole list should be replaced by one item: Echo. All the things like BlogThis, IBlogExtension, CommentAPI etc. including RSS itself, but not only can be expressed by Echo. Isn't that nice? That is the point, point.
