[...] Update: Thanks to Greg Grossmeier, I see another examples of a free network service – Tiny Tiny RSS is an RSS Reader like Google Reader, but it is open source and self-hosted. Check out Greg’s post about the site. [...]

I hadn’t heard about TT-RSS until I saw your dent, or post or whatever, but Thanks! Have been wanting to actually get back into reading feeds and setting this up got me back into it

I got myself a eeePC over the summer, and I use it quite a bit away from home. The thing is great, but there is very little hard drive space, and I really don’t want to have a lot of writes to the solid state hdd. Because of this I ssh into my home computer for large files, for ALL of my music (thank you aMpache!), for a calendar on my drupal site, and various other fun little things.

I am a news/rss junkie.

I needed a way to get to my feeds from my little eee without cashing all of those feeds in any way. THANKS!! This tt-rss is exactly what I was looking for! I am pretty big on hosting as much as possible myself, so google-reader= big no no. Ok, I use gmail, but my main mail is self hosted, my calendar is self hosted, my cheesy blog is self hosted (get the idea?). Call it what you will, I think it makes great sense to keep all of my data in my own hands. Right? Anyway….

All I need now is a good way to stream video files to myself from my home computer, like an ampache for video … anyone??

Thanks greg

Hello. I’ve been using the online ttrss service hosted by the author (you can find it here : http://online.tt-rss.org/tt-rss.php ), instead of netvibes. I didn’t quite like google’s ui in fact. The main problem with google is that you don’t know what they really do with data (the kind of feeds you read…). This service (limited amount ou accounts) is great : You can use ttrss without hosting it yourself

@Wouter – the RSS button in the location bar of firefox isn’t easy enough? ;)

Cool! But it does lack one of the most useful features of google reader: you don’t need an url to subscribe. Feeds are always quickly found by only knowing the name of the site.

Yes, I use TTRSS since several years now, and only since I discovered it I can really use RSS feeds from several locations transparently. Google Reader (and just about any Google application) is out of the question for me, as one of the key points in using FLOSS is (at least for me) not to depend on one company after all.

I’ve been using ttrss for years – It’s a really great reader, and I definitely enjoy the Freedom from Google that it provides me.

One of my favorite features of ttrss is that it keeps getting new features. The developer seems to be constantly improving it. :-)

@Lucian – In principle, nothing. It just want to have more control over my personal data and using a self-hosted (or shared between friends hosted) solution which is just as good if not better than Google Reader just seems better.
