> One program to read rss feeds and another to use voice chat.
While I'm afraid I can't be of much help with the voice chat,
there are a variety of ways to read RSS feeds from the command line.
Personally, I have a my.yahoo.com page set up that allows you to
add as many RSS feeds as you want (okay, there might be some
limit, but I haven't hit it yet, and I'm pushing 30-50 or so that
I scan regularly). It works with any console-mode browser, so
it's quite accessible and fairly easy to use. It also integrates
other Yahoo! features such as weather, news, movie listings, etc.
Supposedly Google offers such an RSS-aggregating sort of feature
as well, but I don't know how kindly it plays with non-JavaScript
enabled browsers.
If you want a stand-alone RSS reader, there are a number of options:
Olive (written in Perl)

Raggle (written in Ruby)

There's also "newsticker.el" for RSS in emacs:

Just a few thoughts,
