You should consider giving a try at netvibes.com. It even has built-in digg support.

The Google Personalized Homepage RSS feeds work really well, and you can get a GMail RSS feed. Makes my life a little easier, and puts all the content I am looking for on one page (Slashdot, Techcrunch, and of course, Digg!)

NewsFire is a fantastic reader. It is open constantly on my desktop, and saves me from having to surf to 100 different sites for news and views.

I did this a few days ago for a site I'm developing. Only, instead of using a database for it, I used an XML file (easier for the guys in charge to edit, they don't program), and instead of having it horribly complex, it took about 20 lines. Instead of being a standalone script, it's a list of feeds on the right hand side of the browser.

Use the one at Monkeychow.org on your own server for a good web-based experience. I use it to track 130+ sites.

For anyone interested in a slightly different AJAX RSS example, you can see one that I have assembled. It relies on a cronjob to fetch Digg's RSS feed, then caches it locally. This is to get around the same origin browser security policy. <a class="user" href="http://www.jmaguire.com/downloads/source_code/javascript/ajax_rss/">http://www.jmaguire.com/downloads/source_code/java ...</a>
