Atom Feeds are those news items you get in the upper left part of your
gmail page. It's where the recipes about Spam as a lunch meat appear
every time you go into your SPAM or junk mail account. On other pages
it will pick out items within the email and show related web sites.

You can get rid of the Atom Feeds by going to the Settings:Web Clips
and turning of the clips. On the negaive side if you create your own
web clips you loose that ability also.
