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 This is a much better way to track news in KDE than the somewhat outdated news ticker."

    Look what we've done for O'Reilly! We currently feature a blatant ad for their new "Mook" and people are still eating it up like candy!

    I second that.

    What's the point? watching apple doing it with the i? At least their products don't sound weird. It's annoying to open the kde menu and go thru 20 apps that start with a K or have at least one K somewhere that makes you change rhythme while pronouncing.

    jaw breaking uselessness.
