What's a program I can use to get realtime feed notifications (rss, atom, etc) on Linux?

Question

I'd like to get notifications of any new posts I subscribe to with this program.

I'm on Gnome/Ubuntu.

Answer 1

I've always liked RSSOwl. It can handle both RSS and Atom and is available for ubuntu.

Answer 2

• Google Reader
• Liferea for GNOME
• Akregator for KDE
• newsbeuter for terminal

Note that Atom/RSS feeds are not "realtime", they use periodic updates (every X minutes/hours).

Answer 3

Mozilla Thunderbird has worked for me. It's not really "real time," but you can change how often updates are checked for.
