[ubuntu-in] Need a feed aggregator

[stereotactic]

Thanks! But there is more than this basic need. (This is the response 
from the developer on the site). I am looking for a possibility of 
having this on the Desktop/Cloud based solution.

Here's what I propose:

Check out the site ( http://schema-root.org ) built from scratch using 
PHP and MySQL.

The newsfeed items on these pages are derived*from external RSS feeds* 
that *he parses and store in his database.*

He then reconstitutes newsfeeds from that database, using some criteria, 
and *cross-referencing various strings* that appear in the items with 
*links that point back* into his own topic tree.

The design of his site has been "as needed".

The idea is to provide articles from reliable sources, and to avoid 
stories from unreliable sources.

This means that the solution provided needs to filter out the spam.  Can 
a Desktop solution be made or is there anything like that? I am a doctor 
with zero coding skills. This can be applied to anything a person needs. 
Suppose you need to track news related to a particular sector, drop the 
feeds from any site which has RSS feeds. And you would get the most 
relevant news every day. For Engineering guys, track developments 
related to start ups/ jobs/papers.

The icing on the cake is to get Twitter which allows searches for 
relevant "hash tags" and outputs this as the RSS feed. So you stay 
current; the OPML file be routed to a RSS Reader like Google Reader or 
anything that you have on desktop.
