Some days ago I read here about alternatives to gmail and I found them really interesting. Now I'm asking: what RSS tool do you use to reed RSS feed? Can you recommend me a user-friendly one?

I saw once a conky with RSS on it (awesome!) but personally I think this would stress me too much :s

Check these: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9757/which-is-the-most-up-to-date-and-modern-rss-feed-reader/9762#9762

The main reason I still use GReader is because it fetches all feed entries. For instance, if I use a feed client, it only grabs the last 15 messages from Ubuntu Forums. So I lose all messages when the client was offline. With GReader on the other hand, whenever I login, all messages are there.

Haven't you heard? RSS is obsolete, all the cool kids get their news by twitter these days.

Joking aside, I use nnrss in emacs-gnus myself.
