#
# Very simple Python program to publish the last RSS entry of a feed
# in a Twitter account. 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 two sections:
#  	- The appKeys section contains the consumer key and secret
#  	for the app.
#	- The other section identifies a twitter account (if we need,
#	we can have more than one account) with the name defined in
#	the previous config file. It includes the token key and the
#	token secret.
