Importing feeds

In this section, you'll write an importer which will insert information about some RSS feeds into the database.

There are a number of websites which provide information about available RSS feeds. WireHose comes with a sample list of feeds collected from Syndic8.com. The list is provided in RSS 2.0 format, so you'll be able to reuse portions of the feed importer code in the feed crawler.
