Here is some shameless self-promotion:

If you're not happy with the OSSO feed reader, you can try out a different one. I didn't like it so started writing my own, Nibbles. It's still pre-version 0.1, but has been pretty stable in daily use for a while now.

There is a thread talking about the pre-release version if you're interested.

In the interests of fairness, there is also a program called Feedelity, but it wasn't for me.
