## Aggregation
There's a lot of good 'Gemlog' content in Geminispace but no easy way to follow other users. Rather than use Atom/RSS which requires users to manually edit xml files, or use some other software it'd be good if a defacto standard emerged. Två will attempt to infer a Gemlog index from the contents of a page and display a 'follow' option to add the Gemlog to an aggregated in-app feed:
See below for initial thoughts on aggregation. A simpler approach is to allow the user to follow any page, store a cache of the page, poll periodically, and display any change delta. This approach will work for both common Gemlog formats (links to separate pages, or journal single page logs):
State when user chooses to follow a page:
```
=> bar/ link to a gemlog page
=> foo/ my first post
```
3rd party updates their blog:
```
=> baz/ new post!
=> bar/ link to a gemlog page
=> foo/ my first post
```
Delta displayed in app feed:
```
=> baz/ new post!
```

### Inferred

* American 'freedom' date format `mm/dd/yyyy` should be rejected if possible (what were they thinking?)
* Two digit years should be ignored: `dd/mm/yy` - no way to safely infer date
* Other date formats? I've seen `dd-MMM-yy`, `ddMMMyy`, `yyyy-mm-dd`
* Some gemlogs have no dates at all
### Specification B
Ignore all of the above - just look for a change in the first link on a page. Include menu option to follow _any_ page and store the first link...
