Another limitation was RSS may be convenient and popular, but it is a very limiting technology because of the inflexibility and inability to handle more data than a title and description. For business applications, a protocol like Atom is much better suited for passing data because it is extensible. Unfortunately we ran into challenges with every tool we used when attempting to consume data via Atom instead of RSS.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<b>Contest technology experience<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The tools are all relatively new and we had difficulties with some of the rough edges with each of the products we were using. The biggest surprise was the inability of IBM QEDWiki to consume Atom feeds. It was easy to install and configure Apatar, however mapping the fields between Salesforce.com connector and RSS Connector within Apatar required some &#8220;trial and error&#8221; efforts. We were happy with our ability to produce a web-based application that combined data and display elements. Doing this type of work even a few years ago required much deeper skills in arcane areas. While ease-of-use is not up to par for end users, developers will definitely be more productive. We were able to build this mashup from start to finish with about 2 hours of work, including all of the data extraction (excluding time spent learning the tools).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<b>Best practices used<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1. Plan data contents before doing anything else, and source most of the data before starting to build a UI.<br \/>\n    2. Keep the data feeds simple and discrete.<br \/>\n    3.
