We prefer ATOM

There are a number of syndication formats that can be used for “feeds” on blogs like Geekie.org. WordPress 2.3 natively supports RSS 0.92, RSS 1, RSS 2.0, and ATOM 1.0.

Geekie.org now favours ATOM as the default syndication format, and I’ve changed the links throughout the site in order to reference the ATOM feed as opposed to the RSS feed. You can find the current ATOM feed using the button on the right side of your location bar, the icon next to the site title, or the icon next to the “Functions” panel in the right sidebar.

Why? There isn’t much to it, but certainly ATOM is a newer and more advanced format. Thus, we prefer ATOM.

Do you have a blog? Switch to ATOM if you can. Google likes it. (That’s not the only reason.) Read this Wikipedia article on ATOM.
