  Description     : Announces new articles in a feed to an open microblogging service

 feed2omb is a simple tool that takes input from Atom or RSS feeds and posts
 updates to the open microblogging service of your choice.
 .
 Features:
  * Flexible processing of multiple feeds
  * Various ways of forming the message from the feed content
  * Ability to apply regular expressions to the message - RegEx
  * Include links or not
  * Support for various URL-shortening services - UrlShortening
  * Auto-generation of hashtags from feed categories - HashTags
  * Configurable rate limiting - FloodControl
  * Support for sending to XMPP as well/instead - XMPP

I'm packaging this because I want to use something like this for
the debian account on identi.ca and I havent't found any better
tool available. It's only a Python script of 375 lines.

If you know of better alternatives, please tell me.
