I made a bot that does feed fetching and forwards new entries to xmpp,web and wave based on the "updated" field of the feed. This way you only need to maintain a timestamp of the last viewed entry of the feed so that anything newer gets forwarded, anything older gets dropped. See http://jsonbot.appspot.com for a running instance of the bot, it's this in alpha though so i'm sure things ain't working yet as they should ;] Grtx, Bart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
