“Gregarius is a web-based RSS/RDF/ATOM feed aggregator, designed to run on your web server, allowing you to access your news sources from wherever you want.”

I love the [bloglines service](http://www.bloglines.com), but lately I’ve been missing out on some of my feeds due to problems with the service or maintenance downtime of some sort. So, I decided to try out another service as an alternative. [NewsGator](http://www.newsgator.com) seemed an obvious choice, but the overall feel just didn’t fit right with me.

In my search, I found [Gregarius](http://www.gregarius.net), a free, web-based aggregator that you run on your own server. I’ve used [magpie-rss](http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/) before on the [PatrickWard.com](http://www.patrickward.com) site before but I never considered running my own feed aggregator for myself. Gregarius uses magpie, but does so much more.

It has a nice, ajaxian style that lends itself to a very efficient method of reading through the various posts. Coupled with a few of the plugins, such as “Double-Click to Read”, “StickyFlag”, and “Mark Feed as Read”, I’m now plowing through the feeds with a lot less effort than I ever did with bloglines. It’s certainly a lot more effort to set up, but the end result matched my needs better.

I’ve got a couple of plugins in mind that I might contribute soon myself.
