Just noticed in my server logs that the GoogleBot has probed my site. Not all that special, seeing as I submitted the url to google today. But not only is it indexing my main page (and all sub-pages I have linked to), it requested the files index.rdf, atom.xml and rss.xml

Clearly, google is looking for syndication files for my site. I am curious as to why it looked for these files instead of index.xml, which is the feed for this site as shown by the meta-tags placed by blogger. Regardless, google wants in on syndicated content. I can't see feeds on google being terribly useful at the moment (since they're not often human-readable), so I think google is planning to build some sort of feed search similar to Feedster. I'm looking forward to it, if that is indeed the case...
