[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=parse+rss+feed+ruby+rails&btnG=Search](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=parse+rss+feed+ruby+rails&btnG=Search)

feedtools ([http://sporkmonger.com/projects/feedtools/](http://sporkmonger.com/projects/feedtools/), one of the top5  
results of above search) is a rather complete rss/atom parser suite  
including support caching and merging of retrieved feeds.

Thanks Jens.  
But as I am new I am not getting it right away.  
Let me present you my problem.  
I have to build a Ruby on Rails application which gets the recent posts  
from the specific blogs. As far as I know, I need to parse the RSS  
Feeds of the particular blogs and get the recent posts displayed(if  
any).  
Can you help me in this with explaination.

Thanks in Advance.
