[ubuntu-in] RSSOwl

It has some nifty features; but it canno sync with Google Reader (as 
yet). I think Liferea does but well, so be it. The only good thing about 
RSSOwl is the newsfilters (something like you have for email), but it 
can get ungainly. All the effort, was seriously not really worth it :(

Unfortunately, there is no replacement for Google Reader...as yet. 
Thunderbird, as I mentioned, is still very basic. I had written about an 
"ideal RSS reader" earlier in the mailing list but there is no 
"interest" for it's development. There are some good and bad parts about 
other readers and none is perfect in the Linux world. Mutt is a great 
example but it is terminal based.

I'd be glad for once if it had a GUI which would make it very easy for 
working around it. Is someone interested?

Or else teach me how to code. Tell me where to look for since I have 
zilch coding experience.

RSS is very powerful means of getting information; sadly it is 
underused. There are lot of things you can do with it and bare minimum 
get the news in real time.

Cheers!!
