Did you ended up using the planetplanet feed aggregator?<br><br>If so, it supports the concept of filters. Ive never used them, but here are some docs.<br><a href="http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/docs/filters.html">http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/docs/filters.html</a><br>
<br>From the docs:<br>"Filters and plugins are simple Unix pipes. Input comes in
<code>stdin</code>, parameters come from the config file, and output goes to
<code>stdout</code>."<br><br>Presumably you could write the filter in ruby using stdin and stdout.<br><br>simon<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 12:28 AM, Nick Ludlam <<a href="mailto:nick@recoil.org">nick@recoil.org</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>Aha that's great! Thanks for letting us know.<br>
<br>
On the RSS feed front, I've come slightly unstuck in that for many<br>
people's sites don't have category specific feeds, so I'm still<br>
slaving away with Pipes to come up with something which filters the<br>
large throughput on keywords. This isn't ideal, but I am getting to<br>
know Pipes a bit better.<br>
