I’m an avid user of Google Reader. I follow a couple dozen different websites, check it daily (and sometimes quasi-daily), and have a very elaborate system of tags.
One thing that I did a year or two ago was to take my public broadcast feed of my shared items and integrate it into my main website directly. The goal was to have the homepage of my website always have fresh content by linking it to my shared Reader items (I share anywhere from 3-8 items per day, on average).
Originally, my solution was a bit of a hack: I used Magpie RSS reader to consume the feeds, then did some serious PHP acrobatics to parse out the Google Reader feed — what I failed to understand, at the time, was the fundamental differences between RSS and Atom feeds (subtle, yet significant). All in all, I think it took somewhere from 100-150 lines of code to effectively snatch the feed and parse it out; and it wasn’t perfect, either — frequentle the title and source would get mashed together. But for that particular time, it was fine.
The other night, though, I decided to try and fix it up proper. I discovered that the Zend Framework has some native Atom Feed classes and thought this would be a good place to start. (Details, including my PHP source code, after the jump)
