Re: [O] Org-mode as a replacement for Google Reader

[Jude DaShiell]

newsticker has been part of emacs since 22.x and it's supposed to be 
able to read rss feeds and display them.  Now, how to get from what's in 
info newsticker to actually adding a real feed and have newsticker work 
is another matter entirely.  I'm reading what's in info newsticker and 
don't yet fully understand where to store the feed and specifically what 
commands need be used to add feeds and delete feeds from a feeds list 
yet.
