On last days, I was trying to code my own feed reader. I was trying to find a client-side solution to feed reader system, but I haven´t found yet a good one.
A good approach are flXHR and fJax, that use flash to do cross-domain queries. flXHR is a more complete solution but it still has a serious problem. As a security feature, Adobe Flash Player forbids any communitation with domains without a crossdomain.xml policy file. Blogspot, wordpress, facebook and a faithful of webs have that file available, but most of them did'nt have it.
So, a news reader has to rely on a complete server-side solution. At the moment, there is no alternative.

Django and Python han very nice libraries for parsing RSS feeds; check my page where I publish all my shared items on Google Reader (on the admin backend you can add feeds), if you want the code I'll sent it.
