Best 13 Rss Readers for Linux

When it comes to Rss Readers Linux had a slow start.

The Rss Reader is a new way for you to monitor your favorite blogs or news sites and make sure that you are alerted whenever new content or articles appear, all this without the email spam.

Here’s a list with the Best 13 Rss Readers for Linux fans:

1. Google Reader and Bloglines

Best Web-based Rss Readers. They are free, cross platform compatible and portable.

2. Liferea

Liferea is an aggregator for online news feeds that tries to fill the gap of extra libraries that need to be installed on a Linux system in order to get the program to work.

3. Akregator

Akregator is a news feed reader for the KDE desktop. It enables you to follow news sites, blogs and other RSS/Atom-enabled websites without the need to manually check for updates using a web browser.

4. Sage

Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed reader extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t.

5. Straw

A feed agregator for the Gnome Desktops.

6. Rssowl

Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are called RSS readers or “aggregators.” RSSOwl is such an application. RSSOwl lets you gather, organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and sharing, and much more. It’s easy to configure, available in many many languages and the best of all: It’s platform-independent.

7. Blam

Blam is a tool that helps you keep track of the growing number of news feeds distributed as RSS. Blam lets you subscribe to any number of feeds and provides an easy to use and clean interface to stay up to date.

8. Mozilla Thunderbird

Like the Firefox browser, Thunderbird can be used to access websites that make content available through RSS feeds. Unlike Firefox, however, which gives you access to RSS feeds through Live Bookmarks, Thunderbird lets you view RSS content in a way that is very similar to reading email: the RSS feeds that you subscribe to will be listed in the folders pane, the individual article titles or “headlines” will be displayed in the message-list pane, and when you click on a title the article content will be displayed in the message preview pane.

9. Opera

Subscribing to newsfeeds with Opera is extremely simple, as most newsfeeds will automatically be subscribed when you click their links on a Web page. The feed will show up under “Newsfeeds” at the bottom of your “Mail” panel.

10. BottomFeeder

BottomFeeder is a news aggregator client (RSS and Atom) written in VisualWorks Smalltalk. BottomFeeder runs on Linux x86, (also FreeBSD), PowerPC Linux, Sparc Linux, Windows (98/ME/NT/2000/XP/CE 4), Mac OS8/9, Mac OS X (PPC), AIX, SGI Irix, HP-UX, and Solaris (SPARC and x86).

11. Eclipse Rss Reader

The Eclipse RSS Reader allows the user to create RSS channels, connected to on-line RSS feeds, and view the items they contain in several workbench views. Each channel can be updated from its source at regular intervals. The channel items can be browsed using configured link browsers.

12. K. R. S. S.

KDE´s Rich Site Summary viewer quickly downloads any number of pre-selected RSS feeds that you have chosen, and displays them when and how you want in a ticker-tape fashion. Quickly and easily.

13. Syndigator

Syndigator is another Rss feed reader based on GTK2 and is targeted primarily at those people using Linux (since this is the platform that the developers are using).

Update:

14. BlogBridge (although it should be in the top3)

BlogBridge is for true info-junkies who want a better way to wrangle all their RSS feeds from blogs and news into one pretty cool organizer.
BlogBridgeBut it’s also for people who need to learn things on the fly and want to stay current on select topics — from internet security to product innovation to wine.

Thanks devnet and E@zyVG for the update.
