Simple guide to setting up Bloglines
I read about 275 RSS feeds every day. How do I do it? Bloglines, baby. Free,
powerful, web-based. There is nothing better. For a newbie's guide to setting up Bloglines, see "23 real simple steps to
making your Internet life much better", from a columnist at The Chicago Tribune. He walks through the
whole process, step by step. Show it to the RSS beginner in your life. And tell 'em to subscribe to this blog's feed,
wouldja?

The best RSS aggregator? Bloglines. Runs on Linux
There is only one RSS/ATOM aggregator worth a tinker's damn: Bloglines.
http://www.bloglines.com
Yes, it's a Web site. Yes, it's an application - a Web service. Don't let that stop you. Bloglines is to RSS feeds
what Gmail is to email. And, like Gmail, it runs on Linux, which is icing on the cake.
Believe me, I've looked at all of them. I've been subscribing to RSS feeds since 2001, and I've tried a variety of
clients on Windows and Linux. The best of them, by far, isn't a client you run on your machine; it's Bloglines, a Web
application. Powerful, feature-complete (and very respondent to user suggestions), persistent storage - and it's free.
It just does things "right" - or at least more right than everyone else. Check it out.

An RSS reader suggestion
Occasionally I get emails asking me what RSS reader I recommend. It's a pretty easy decision for me:
Bloglines. It's the best I've used, and here are some reasons why.
web-based
built using open source technologies (yay!)
persistent storage, so posts stick around until YOU decide to delete them
easy to use, yet powerful interface
new features added regularly
free! (but it's so damn good I'd pay for it in a second)
social software (so you can see others' feeds & they can see yours - but you can turn this off)
suggestions for other feeds
search engine, so you can search feeds
good webfeed citizen: if 1000 Bloglines users have subbed to the same feed, Bloglines grabs it once & makes
it available to 1000 users, instead of 1000 hits on the same webfeed
There are many others, but hey, at least try it out. It's free!

Akregator, the KDE-based RSS aggregator
Akregator is a KDE-based RSS aggregator. Now, on the good side, it's integrated with KDE, & it's got some nice
features that you can read about at kde.org.uk's "Akregator - App of
the Month". In fact, it's going to be a part of KDE 3.4, which is cool: KDE is going to have an integrated
aggregator. Cool. However, I don't really like Akregator for 2 reasons:
Your data is stuck on one machine. I prefer to have my data easily available on any machine I'm using.
Your data is not persistent (at least, I can't see that it is). In other words, there's no way to save RSS
posts/feeds for later. That really kills it for me.
So, while Akregator is nice and all, & I'm sure some people will find it useful, I'm going to stick to
Bloglines, a web-based service. Bloglines just flat out rocks. However, for a
more positive review of Akregator, read George Staikos' Bitten By the
aKregator, from O'Reilly.

RSS aggregators for Linux
Well, if you're reading this right now, you got here one of 2 ways: you actually went to the web page, or you used
an RSS aggregator, which is my preferred method. Me, I use Bloglines, a
web-based aggregator, which I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE. But what if you don't want to use a web-based solution? What then?
Why, read "A survey of RSS aggregators", which will give you plenty of
ideas!
