Regrettably no. I'm still using AmphetaDesk, and it's definitely getting
long in the tooth. The thing I really like about AmphetaDesk is that it
presents its results as a web page, loadable right into my browser. But it
chokes on Fark's RSS feed, and doesn't read Atom.

Just out of curiosity, I did a search at SourceForge for "RSS", and got
quite a few results, not all of them aggregators. Some Java, at least on
in Mono/C#, and various libs in various languages. Too many to easily pick
a few that "look promising".

Linux Journal recently reviewed the Python package feedparser (Dec/2004 by
Rueven Lerner) favourably. Might be worth looking for programs that use
it. I just did a quick Google search and came up empty on that count,
though. http://www.feedparser.org/

Happy Hunting.
