RSS Feed Indexer

[Joe Gasiorek <joe gasiorek gmail com>]

So, maybe I read Scoble's weblog to often but I am thinking that
Beagle needs to take more advantage of RSS feeds.  There are a couple
decisions that need to be made about how to implement this.  First,
how do we get the feed urls:

-- Get feed url from straw, firefox, blam, e-d-s, etc. that the user
is 'subscribed' to in that particular app

-- As you browse, if the site has an rss feed grab the feed url and
add it to a list via a firefox extension.

Then, how to update the feeds:

-- Get entrys from straw, firefox, blam, etc. and assume the user
keeps those up to date.

-- Run our own 'agitator' as part of beagled while being careful not
hit the website too often.

Anyway, I'm sure there are many more strategies to answering these two
questions so please feel free to say them.  Also, if you just think
one way is better than another just say so.  No point in doing
something if it isn't done the way we want it.
