I've just noticed and fixed a bug in my RSS2Timeline service.

I used entry.content[0].value to get a feed item content, while feedparser uses entity.description as one if its universal term (which means you can use the same code for any RSS or Atom feed).

Now, the service should handle any feed without error.

When playing with Timeline, I thaught it could be a nice interface for RSS feeds, especially for weblogs or planets.

So, I wrote an ''RSS to Timeline'' service, that takes any RSS/Atom feed as an input, and translates it into the correct JSON / Timeline format. Just put the correct URL as a data source for your Timeline, and you'll get it !

Eg:

Here are the few steps used to produce this timeline:

Timeline seems to be the tool of the moment in the SemWeb area. Indeed, this is a really nice JavaScript tool to display temporal data, so we could imagine a lot of usages for it.
