+# FeedParser
+
+Rss and Atom feed parser built on top of Nokogiri. Supports custom sanitizers.
+
+## Install
+
+Add to Gemfile
+
+    gem "feed_parser"
+
+## Usage
+
+    # the most basic use case
+    fp = FeedParser.new(:url => "http://example.com/feed/")
+    # with sanitizer
+    fp = FeedParser.new(:url => "http://example.com/feed/", :sanitizer => MyBestestSanitizer.new)
+    # sanitizing custom field set
+    fp = FeedParser.new(:url => "http://example.com/feed/", :sanitizer => MyBestestSanitizer.new, :fields_to_sanitize => [:title, :content])
+    
+    # parse the feed
+    feed = fp.parse
+    
+    # using parsed feed in your code
+    feed.as_json
+    # => {:title => "Feed title", :url => "http://example.com/feed/", :items => [{:guid => , :title => , :author => ...}]}
+    
+    feed.items.each do |feed_item|
+      pp feed_item
+    end
+
+## Running tests
+
+Install dependencies by running `bundle install`.
+
+Run rspec tests:
+
+    $ bundle exec rspec

+<p>Chances are I&#8217;m late to the party, given how many Facebook &#8216;likes&#8217; and retweets this project seems to have garnered already, but I hadn&#8217;t yet seen it yet so here goes:</p>
+<p>Some folks over at <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/frog-design">frog design</a> have hacked together <a>A World Of Tweets</a>, a Web-based app that <a href="http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/a-world-of-tweets.html">visualizes geo-located tweets</a> from around the globe.</p>
+<p>The project, which was started by two frog design employees as a personal experiment with <a href="http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api">Twitter&#8217;s Streaming API</a> and the HTML5 canvas tag, is all about &#8220;playing with geography and bits of information&#8221;. It&#8217;s also pretty cool to look at.</p>
+<p>The app shows visitors where people are tweeting /from, in realtime, in the past hour. The more tweets come from a specific region, the &#8220;hotter&#8221; it becomes.</p>
+<p>From frog design&#8217;s blog post:</p>
+<blockquote><p>Integrating technology and design, the application was developed in HTML5 deploying the Twitter Streaming API and the Yahoo! Placemaker service to merge geotagged tweets on one single map, processing more than 1.4 million tweets in just 8 days.  </p>
+<p>Due to the growth of automated geo-tagging via mobile devices, the exceptional tweet locations range from the Sahara Desert to Polar Circle diving to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.</p></blockquote>
+<p>You can visualize tweets in the form of a heatmap, with &#8216;smoky clouds&#8217; and either in map or satellite view. If you have 3D red cyan glasses, you can even dive into the &#8220;3D stereo view&#8221;.</p>

Now we've heard from sources that this is indeed what's coming on Monday during Facebook's <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/10/facebook-november-event/">special event</a>, alongside personal @facebook.com email addresses for users.
+
+This isn't a big surprise — the event invites Facebook sent out hinted strongly that the news would have something to do with its Inbox, sparking plenty of speculation that the event could be related to Titan. Our understanding is that this is more than just a UI refresh for Facebook's existing messaging service with POP access tacked on. Rather, Facebook is building a full-fledged webmail client, and while it may only be in early stages come its launch Monday, there's a huge amount of potential here.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techcrunch.com&amp;blog=11718616&amp;post=243323&amp;subd=tctechcrunch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Now we&#8217;ve heard from sources that this is indeed what&#8217;s coming on Monday during Facebook&#8217;s <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/10/facebook-november-event/">special event</a>, alongside personal @facebook.com email addresses for users.</p>
+<p>This isn&#8217;t a big surprise — the event invites Facebook sent out hinted strongly that the news would have something to do with its Inbox, sparking plenty of speculation that the event could be related to Titan. Our understanding is that this is more than just a UI refresh for Facebook&#8217;s existing messaging service with POP access tacked on. Rather, Facebook is building a full-fledged webmail client, and while it may only be in early stages come its launch Monday, there&#8217;s a huge amount of potential here.</p>
+<p>Facebook has the world&#8217;s most popular photos product, the most popular events product, and soon will have a very popular local deals product as well.  It can tweak the design of its webmail client to display content from each of these in a seamless fashion (and don&#8217;t forget messages from games, or payments via Facebook Credits). And there&#8217;s also the social element: Facebook knows who your friends are and how closely you&#8217;re connected to them; it can probably do a pretty good job figuring out which personal emails you want to read most and prioritize them accordingly.</p>
+<p>Oh, and assuming our sources prove accurate, this explains the timing of the <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/09/facebook-slaps-google-openness-doesnt-mean-being-open-when-its-convenient/">Google/Facebook slap fight </a>over contact information.</p>
+<p>We&#8217;ll keep digging for more details and will have full coverage on Monday.<br />
