I’m using Opera for reading about 60 feeds, works okay for me. Just wanted to tell opera also supports autolearning filters (or folders if you want). I believe they use a bayesian approach for that. Wouldn’t know if it works well on rss ..

Lars,
I really dig Liferea, man. I am afraid I can’t be of much help with the 64-bit debugging, though. Maybe I’ll take a look at 1.2.1, though.

I’ve not really got into RSS yet. I use Klipfolio for Windows but not exactly scratching my itch. Did not realize Opera did RSS, I’ll have to look at that. I really like Opera’s text to speech features but only available in Windows.

Nice article, I’ll have to play with RSS farther, good suggestions on the comments too.

Hi!

Two things: Liferea version 1.2.0 had a bug that prevented you to open the internal help (fixed in 1.2.1) and on x86_64 it is crashing for unknown reason (symptoms indicate a memory corruption). I’m unable to find the cause without having own 64bit HW and until now there was nobody willing to seriously debug this on his own.

Right on, those are some sweet suggestions. Thanks!

Hey, the one good thing about liferea that I like (though I personally prefer Akregator for it’s always iconified and on simpleness) is that it works with beagle. To be honest, I haven’t used KDE for a while so Akgregator may also do this now, but as far as searching goes, you can’t get much better than that. I’m gonna have to change back to KDE some time, Gnome on SLED is just way too slow! (Even on a Core 2 Duo).

I stopped using Akegregator in favor of Bloglines.

You can get to it from any machine and it’s reasonably fast (part of ask.com).

OK, Thanks Scott.

Hi Scott,

I’ve tried most of the aggregator that you’ve mentioned, some time back and eventually got used to Google Reader.

Bill,
Opera, huh? I will have to give it a go and see what I think. Good suggestion. Thanks.

Claire,
Apologies to have made your day worse instead of better. I’ll do better. Promise.
Our Christmas was great.
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoy it.

I use Opera as a browser and rss reader and haven’t found a rss reader that made me consider changing. I follow 100+ feeds and haven’t felt that there was any issue with slowness, actually I think it’s pretty fast.

Hi Scott,

I’m very sorry to hear that about your late sister and wish you and your family all the best. My comment is based on the impact your reference to cancer had on me, and maybe I’m a bit emotional. It’s just that it kind of spoiled the fun of reading these two blog entries for me, especially since AFAICT cancer doesn’t have anything to do with openSUSE, aggregators or waiting. Anyway, I had a great Christmas, thank you. And I hope you did as will. Keep up the good work, I really like your blog

Pascal,
Hey, thanks for stopping by. You know, the RPM I installed to check out liferea was from that exact location. How crazy. On my AMD64, any time I select anything in the help menu (except for ABOUT), liferea just disappears. Way strange. I really dig the program, I just need a little more stability. Thanks for coming by and have a good one.

maybe i’m not a power user on rss reader. but netvibes.com is all i need.
the online reader just gets more feature and powerful everyday
i like the auto feed search feature and like all online rss readers, your feeds are always there
150 feeds? ok i have like under 30…
the solution to information overload: just dont get overloaded, it’s your choice.
