Approximately 83% of Chyrp’s hotness comes from the fact that it can easily (eh) pull in content from RSS/Atom feeds and output them as posts. In fact, that’s what I do here at MTC to get Tweets, Delicious bookmarks, and Flickr images displayed as posts automatically.

The catch is that, as a result of Chyrp’s ripe young age, there’s very little documentation, so it can be a little bit of a hassle trying to get it working. I thought I’d post my settings here for anybody that’s trying to get one of those three really common feed types working. Here’s the relevant bit of /includes/config.yaml.php. Basically, just copy the “data” field into the data textarea of that aggregate type, and the rest should be self explanatory.

Hope that helps! Comment if you’re still confused.
