Hello, the notes from last night’s Vienna.rb talk titled “Meet Jason Feed - The Future of News & Syndication (Facebook & Co) w/ Web Feeds (Ruby Edition)”. All about Web Feed Formats in XML (Atom, RSS), JSON (JSON Feed), HTML (Microformats w/ h-entry/h-feed), TXT (Feed.TXT w/ YAML & Markdown) and more. The message & conclusion: Live and let live! The more formats the better! Let the computer (e.g. feedparser gem) handle the reading of feeds. One gem to rule them all! All your base are belong to feedparser ;-). Cheers.
