RSS feeds - The WWW

I love feeds, I access them via email using rss2email at the back. My only problem with the program is that it doesn't do anything about feeds that only provide summaries or links; my hackish solution is to not follow those websites. Previously I used Newsboat, which had an option to automatically download the page of feeds that provided summaries, not sure how it guessed those though.

I also get things like some Youtube channels via RSS (I don't have a Google account), and stick the URLs the feed provides through a script to queue them for downloading at some point.

Like a few others in this thread, I like blogrolls as ways of discovering sites. I'd be interested in a piece of software which automatically converts an OPML file into a HTML page, or something.

There's a world out there. I started out with QuiteRSS, and have also enjoyed Rawdog, Elfeed, and Gnus (with Gwene, or another similar thing whose name has entirely escaped me). They're all local, and they all provide a slightly different experience, depending on what tickles you.
