"Atom is one name for two things: It's both a new
standard for developers, as well as a syndication format or "feed"
for your blog. When a regularly updated site such as a blog has a feed,
people can subscribe to it using software for reading syndicated content
called a "newsreader." People like using readers for blogs
because it allows them to catch up on all their favorites at once. Like
checking email—without the SPAM." (Blogger Help)
