Agile Web Development

acts_as_scheduled allows you to manage scheduled events for your models.

A good example of this is scheduling the update of RSS Feeds in a background process using Cron or BackgroundRB.

With acts_as_scheduled your schedule manager can simply call "Model.find_next_scheduled()" to grab the next scheduled item from the database.
