Do not use the Atom Gmail service with online aggregators like Bloglines

FYI, NewsGator Online has explicit support for feeds that require authentication, and you do NOT need to put the credentials in the URL as described here. In fact, you should definitely NOT put credentials into a URL, for the reasons you describe here and others. Just wanted to correct the point about NewsGator, though…since we have explicit support for authenticated feeds. :-)

Thank alot for this comment. My point is not really to target any service. The point is to try say to users: wait, do not do everything without asking question… it’s sure that this new technology is really cool but depending how you use it, you could have some security/privacy problems.
