[Gllug] text based rss reader

[Wulf Forrester-Barker]

Apologies for not paying enough attention to remember the original 
question. However, I just wanted to chip in an observation that those 
accessing the same news sources from multiple machines may find an 
online aggregator to be the best choice.

I've tried LifeRea and the RSS options built into Firefox and 
Thunderbird in the past but have tried several web-based options (*) and 
have recently discovered Rojo (**), which has been working very well. It 
gives lots of options around marking posts read or unread, flagging 
articles for later retrieval and tagging feeds so you can easily skim 
them by your choice of categories. Being an online service means you 
don't end up getting presented with the same items again and again as 
you move between machines.

I know it's not as hardcore as keeping on top of things with Emacs but 
could be handy if you move between several computers with reliable, fast 
net connections.
