Getting the text of an ATOM feed... in 5 lines of Scala:
scala> for {
atom <- XML.load("http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.atom";)
entry <- atom \ "entry"
content <- entry \ "content"
} yield content.text

Putting the ATOM feed into a page via a Snippet:
def feed: Seq[String] = // see above code to load a feed
def mySnippet(toBind: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = feed.flatMap(i => bind("b",
toBind, "place" -> i))

Or... it requires that you change:
case Req("api" :: "place" :: Nil, _, GetRequest) =>
to
case Req("api" :: "place" :: Nil, _, PutRequest) =>
Three whole letters to service a PUT instead of a GET.
Glenn -- I'm happy to help you with specific questions. I can even tolerate
you complaining that the Lift doesn't interoperate with anything (dead
wrong) Lift team has a bad case of NIH, despite that you can't back up these
claims with facts. But, please don't waste the time of the whole list with
answering other people's questions when you don't have a clue about the
subject matter.
