We seek to transform the web from that of a time waster into a time saver. Our approach is to bring the work done on software agents out of academia and into the public arena. Developers could create agents as easily as they can Drupal modules.

Lilina News Aggregator is an aggregator (or news reader) written in PHP. It has support for both RSS and Atom, the industry standards for news sharing.

It has no external dependencies like PHP extensions and works on both PHP5 and PHP4.

It uses SimplePie for reading the feeds, which ensures that almost any feed can be read, and also uses HTML Purifier, to protect your site from nasty XSS.

There are many other news readers available, but these others are not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be installed. Liferea tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for Gtk/Gnome.
