Yes, welcome to 2002!

I've used live bookmarks in firefox before and quite frankly wondered what
the point was I kept having to click on the bookmark to see what had
changed, it didn't seem to achieve anything useful.

However I have just discovered and installed Liferea which is brilliant
and I wish I had known about it before!

I've put the RSS feeds of the various website I look at (which fortunately
have RSS feeds) I now have a little blob (I think it is supposed to be a
globe) that sits down by the clock on my KDE bar and checks all the feeds
once an hour, and the icon changes colour if there are new unread feeds.

It also has a nice "unread" folder which aggregates all the unread items
from the separate feeds into one place to look for things I haven't read
yet.

This really simplifies keeping track of new stories etc.

It's a great little app so I thought I would mention it here in the hope
that someone else might find it useful. Suddenly I see why RSS feeds are a
good idea :)
