Krill: News Filtered

Productivity Sauce
Overwhelmed by the news stream in your regular RSS aggregator? Try Krill. It may look like yet another text-based RSS aggregator, but this nifty little application has a few clever tricks up its sleeve. For starters, Krill can handle not only RSS and Atom feeds, but also Twitter. Krill can display a single news source, or you can point the application to an .opml file to view all your feeds as a stream.
By default, Krill updates the current stream every five minutes, but you can specify a different refresh interval. Krill's most interesting feature, though, is the support for filters. Using the -f flag, you can specify a regular expression pattern to filter the stream. In addition to that, you can point Krill to a file with a list of filters to apply to the stream. Of course, to use this functionality, you need a working knowledge of regular expressions. Krill is written in Python, and installing it is a matter of running the pip install krill command as root.
