Tricklepost - Post an RSS/Atom feed your microblog Copyright (c) 2009 Zach Copley License: GNU Affero General Public License v3 (See the LICENSE file). Tricklepost tries to mitigate the impedance mismatch between RSS/Atom feeds and microblogs. Some feeds have a really high volume of new items and/or many items appear in the feed at one time. If many new items in a feed get posted at one time your microblog you may end up with a "post flood," which can be super annoying to your microblog subscribership. Tricklepost lets you enter a delay to wait in between posts to ensure only one new item gets posted to your microblog every so often, which is much cooler. It handles multiple feeds and microblog accounts.
