Newsbeuter - A Mutt-like RSS Reader (best kept secret replacement for Google Reader)

Ever since Google reader shut down, I have been frantically looking for a good replacement. I have finally settled on Newsbeuter because it's an active project, light-weight, and be added to cron for periodic updates from commandline (and most importantly of all, the interface is very similar to Mutt and I'm a big fan of Mutt).

Therefore I fully endorse newsbeuter http://www.newsbeuter.org/ as the ultimate rss reader to use, most importantly because you can add it to crontab and update newsfeeds every hour (which is actually more important than you might think). I tried

• Feedly (too heavy and depends on browser), 
• Liferea (nice but requires Gtk stack and no commandline update), 
• Old Reader (web-based but too slow), 
• Netvibes (silly interface and requires money for pro-account), 
• Newsbleur (horrible interface) and Yahoo (also horrible interface)
• Canto (python-based, commandline, too many dependencies, bad interface)

Hope this helps someone else in their search.
