Rss Aggregators

I recently started tinkering with <a href="http://bloglines.com" target="_blank">Bloglines</a>, a web-based RSS aggregator service. While I like its features, I don't particularly like its interface. There are a ton of desktop RSS aggregators, but since I move between work desktop, home desktop, and wifi coffeeshop laptop (mmm, coffeeshop wifi... drool) I really prefer a web-based tool. So, I'm curious: Has anybody come across any PHP, perl, or other packages that do the trick? I have used tools such as <a href="http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">magpie RSS</a> in the past, but am looking now for something a little more feature-rich that I can install to my hosted space and use. Any suggestions?<br /><br />-Alan<!--content-->
I haven't heard of too many big web-based RSS readers out there, but I did a little searching on SourceForge and this is what I found:<br /><br />RSS Owl - sourceforge.net/projects/rssowl/<br /><br />I'm a big fan of syndication though, so I'll keep my eyes open for a good one. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->

You can search its universe of subscribed feeds, and save the results as a separate feed that gets updated in your own subscription list. I can, for instance, save myself a "sociology" feed subscription, and when Bloglines picks up a new item that matches, it gets linked for me. Pretty neat stuff, obviously useful for less grad-school-ish things than sociology. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> As much as the interface bugs me a little, it does some cool tricks.<!--content-->
