feedreader for eee901?

hey guys,

what's a good snappy feedreader for my eee901?

I'd rather it not be a terminal app, but rather maybe gtk or whatever toolkit dillo uses now.  I like and use liferea, but it's pretty sluggish on this thing.  does such a reader even exist?  searches have not revealed one...

After trying a couple on my 901, I have gone back to Google Reader. It is the ultimate lightweight reader...

Well, I do use gmail, but I don't use google for search.  Generally speakiing, I like to avoid google when I can.  Obviously it's not a firm stance or I would dump gmail too.   Same for mono: I'd rather avoid it if I can, so that pretty much rules out alligator.  Thanks for the suggestions, though--maybe I'm being too hard on the terminal offerings...

Re: feedreader for eee901?

I'm an emacs junkie so I use Gnus for feed reading. In fact, I use Gnus with w3m-shimbun, which scrapes the web and pulls the full text of articles into the article window. (For instance, that's how I read these forums - I get a threaded view of all new topics plus the text of the relevant comment in the article window.) For me, no other reader comes close. But if you're not an emacs/elisp junkie, you probably won't be interested.

Snownews is also a decent, lightweight feedreader.
