RSS/RDF/Atom Aggregation in KDE 3.4

Posted by michael on from the news-junkie dept.

comforteagle writes "With KDE 3.4 beta just announced a few days ago spokesman George Staikos has written about the new RSS/RDF/Atom Aggregator included in the new release, aKregator, in his column KDE: From the Source. 'In contrast to a news ticker style of RSS application, you don't need to constantly look at aKregator to see if there is new news. I have found that with news tickers such as the applet in KDE, I was constantly staring at the news feeds as they scrolled by and re-reading the same headlines over and over. With aKregator, I find I never look at old news as headlines that are read are conveniently grayed out and pushed down the list.' This is a much better way to track news in KDE than the somewhat outdated news ticker."

    We seem to have had a lot of these around here recently, and I'll be damned if a KDE utility that doesn't start with "K" isn't the most frightening one yet. Okay, it's the second letter, but still...
