XML sitemap will be also one of the most used in the future.
8 commentsThursday, December 18, 2008
Submitting sitemaps to Google has been simplified, the company announced this morning. Webmasters will no longer have to specify which type of sitemap they are submitting. Google will determine the filetype for them.
Google still prefers webmasters use Google Webmaster Tools for submission, though, but they also accept files listed in the robots.txt file, or submitted via the HTTP ping method.
The XML sitemap file format can be used for all web pages, which is also supported by all search engine. If a webmaster doesn’t trust Google to sift through their file types, control freaks can bask in their own specificity via other Google-supported file formats:
RSS and Atom 1.0 feeds
Text files with URLs
XML sitemap files for video search, indexed in Google Video
Media-RSS feeds for video search
XML sitemap files for Google Code Search, indexed in Google Code Search
XML sitemap files for mobile web pages
XML sitemap files for geo-data, for geographic data in KML or GeoRSS format
XML sitemap for News, a special format for those registered with Google News

Good to hear this. Not that it was such a big deal to begin with but for the newbies out there this might help them somewhat.
