# Very simple Python program to publish a notification with the last
# RSS entry of a feed in a Linkedin Page. It shows the blogs available
# and allows to select one of them.
# 
# It has a configuration file with a number of blogs with:
#	- The RSS feed of the blog
#	- The Twitter account where the news will be published
#	- The Facebook page where the news will be published
# It uses a configuration file that has one section with the
# authentication tokens provided by Linkedin.
