require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
require 'feedzirra'

profile_name = 'dave.winer'
page = Nokogiri::HTML(open("http://www.google.com/profiles/#{profile_name}"))

feed_url = page.search('//head/link[@type="application/atom+xml"]').first['href']
feed = Feedzirra::Feed.fetch_and_parse(feed_url)

puts feed.title
puts feed.url
puts feed.last_modified

feed.entries.each do |entry|
puts
puts "Title: #{entry.title}"
puts "Content"
puts entry.content
end

I can’t find the Activity Streams tag. Feedzirra could be filtering it but I haven’t look at it yet.
