More aggregators -UPDATE-

Some new RSS/ATOM/... aggregators:

LINUX

  • Lifeera, abbreviated for Linux Feed Reader, parses RDF/RSS, CDF, Atom 0.2, OPML 1.0 and OCS 0.4 and depends on GTK/GNOME
  • SnowNews - "text mode RSS newsreader for Linux and Unix"
  • Syndigator comes in GTK and GTK2 flavour

LINUX, WINDOWS

WINDOWS

  • RSS Reader is a free aggregator from the Netherlands
  • Feed Corn is another .NET aggregator in the making

CROSS-PLATFORM

  • RSSbot "reports live updates via IRC, IM (Yahoo, AOL/ICQ, MSN), e-mail, etc." PERL/POE based. Via decafbad
  • RNews requires a web server. Similar to Feed on Feeds, it uses PHP, MySQL and Magpie RSS, but has a different interface
  • FeedWinder and RSSOwl are JAVA based
  • zShaped and zFeeder have been known as zvonnews and zvonfeeds - PHP based
  • Simplog is a weblogging tool that also comes with a RSS/RDF/Atom feed reader. Former MyPHPblog. PHP Atom parser class available
  • Urchin requires PERL and MySQL. Combines items from multiple sources (feeds) into a new RSS feed. Scriptable, no GUI
  • Feedo is vaporware so far, but promises to come with a "centralized feed status repository [that] avoids seeing articles read on machine #1 as "unread" on machine #2"
  • Spycyroll is for the Python afficionado
  • Pears requires Python and wxPython
  • TALAggregator uses Python and MySQL to implement multi-user, web-based aggregation

OTHER

  • Winksite also provides aggregation services for mobile devices
  • TofuRSSBrowser claims to be a "small and simple RSS browser for OS X"
  • feed-me.info is another online aggregating service
  • RSSmail lets you access the contents of your IMAP inbox via RSS
  • fetchRSS "polls Weblogs (RSS feeds) and emails the updates, one message per updated entry" - via vowe
  • HEP Message Server is Abe Fettig's idea of a multi messaging system gateway. Check his weblog for updates
  • Amphetarate tries to add a reputation system to Amphetadesk

Reminds me that the directory needs a serious overhaul:

Migration and repair works in progress, so things might look a bit odd at the moment
