There are a few rss aggregators which I like: http://www.trawlr.com/ http://www.gnome.org/projects/straw/ http://feed-on-feeds.googlecode.com/ However, none of them quite match my needs. Trawlr is nice, but I want the data in my own db so that I can work with the data if I like. The straw project is nice, but they''re not using rails conventions. Finally, feed-on-feeds is closest to what I want in that it aggregates feeds using standard LAMP (in this case, PHP). However, I like rails, so basically would like to clone/redo feed-on-feeds using rails. So, I started: http://code.google.com/p/rfeeds/ Having a better grasp of how to use the relationships thanks largely to this list, I feel more capable of tackling something like this. However, the primary concern is how to populate the database. I don''t mean putting some data into the migrations, or even loading data with SQL, but grabbing feed data from the internet. How would I use something like: http://www.igvita.com/2007/03/22/agile-rss-aggregator-in-ruby/ to grab feeds? thanks, Thufir --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
