del.icio.us twitter mashup

Using PowerShell

Create a simple container, loop over it and get a mashup of today’s activities on del.icio.us and twitter.

Future posts will show how to save this data.

Copy and paste into a PowerShell Console

$mashup = @{
    delicious = {
      $url = “http://del.icio.us/rss/popular/”
      New-Object Net.WebClient |
      ForEach {
        ([xml]$_.DownloadString($url)).rdf.item |
         select title |
         add-member -pass noteproperty feed “delicious” } }

    twitter = {
      $url = “http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss”
      New-Object Net.WebClient |
      ForEach {
       ([xml]$_.DownloadString($url)).rss.channel.item |
        select title |
        add-member -pass noteproperty feed “twitter” } }
}

Then this

$mashup.GetEnumerator() | ForEach {& $_.Value} | Format-Table -a feed, title

RSS mashup result

feed           title
