BottomFeeder is an RSS/Atom news aggregator written in VisualWorks
Smalltalk.

In this talk I'll explain:
-- what a news aggregator is
-- why you should care
-- Go over some implementation details

BottomFeeder is a smart network client, dealing with XML, Http, XML-RPC,
and SOAP. It's a free, open source application - many of the pieces can be
easily reused in other application, including the HTTP layer (which handles
authentication, mod gzip, and encoding issues), the online updating layer
(which allows BottomFeeder to be updated on the fly).

Questions will be welcome.
