format It also supports the emerging Atom format, in both 0.3 and 1.0 flavors

Trang 9For regular users of the Web, there are a few key tools and social networking sites
that may contain your profile and data Every month there are improved integrations
between these sites and other online resources, including Joomla! All this helps to
minimize account logins and the repetition of data in different places
Web 2.0 is all about integrating yourself into the Web experience and sharing your
information; being a part of the Web instead of just searching for material Content
from external resources can easily be embedded into Joomla! via the use of HTML
code or custom extensions designed to collaborate with popular resources
Joomla! lends itself well to displaying external data into its framework, as it does
to broadcast some of its own content to other sources New extensions are being
developed at an astounding rate that provide solutions for collaborating with
popular external web resources This will only increase with time, as the Joomla!
developer community helps to define integrations for the "next big thing" on the
Web whatever it may be
