What is Google Reader and TinyTinyRSS?

Google Reader (http://google.com/reader) and TinyTinyRSS (http://tt-rss.org/redmine/) are online news aggregators. To use these services you need an online user account. With such an account you can read your subscriptions

• from Liferea
• using any web browser on any PC
• or using a smartphone app

Why Using an Online News Aggregator with Liferea?

Liferea as a desktop aggregator cannot provide the global accessibility that a online news aggregator provides. While you can access an online aggregator from virtually everywhere, Liferea needs to be installed and configured on every PC you use. Also it ensures no direct synchronisation between the different installations.

Using an online aggregator you can workaround this situation. You can subscribe to your online account from all your Liferea installations and will have synchronous feed lists and item states everywhere. At the same time you can still use a web browser to log in to the online aggregator directly if you are at a public terminal for example.

How to Subscribe

1. Create a online aggregator account if you not already have one.
2. Click "New/New Source" and select "Google Reader" or "TinyTinyRSS" from the dialog.
3. Enter you account username and password.

Shortly after subscribing the feed list of your online account should appear and items should be retrieved.

Supported TinyTinyRSS Versions
