<p>
Here's a set of quick <a href='http://www.ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a>
bindings for <a href='http://www.syndic8.com/'>Syndic8.com</a> (via
<acronym title='eXtended Markup Language'>XML</acronym>-<acronym
title='Remote Procedure Call'>RPC</acronym>). Using these bindings is dirt simple; here's some sample code:
</p>

<blockquote>
<pre>
require 'syndic8'
search_str = 'cooking'

begin
  s = Syndic8.new
  s.find(search_str).each { |feed| p feed }
rescue
  puts "Error: #$!"
end
</pre>
</blockquote>

<p>
You can also run Syndic8-Ruby from the command-line.  Here's an example:
