You will want to have your database set up before you begin installation. Fabric can install both PostgreSQL and MongoDB for you, but only on Ubuntu. Mac OS X users will want to have MySQL or PostgreSQL already installed. You can download MySQL or download PostgreSQL. Additionally, if running as a development machine on Mac OS X, I would recommend using MySQL with Sequel Pro as a GUI.
If you are installing MySQL, you will also need the MySQLDB python library:

Temboz is a web-based RSS/Atom aggregator and feed reader that focuses on saving you time by letting you filter out articles you are not interested in.
It is inspired by FeedOnFeeds (web-based personal aggregator), Google News (two column layout) and TiVo (thumbs up and down).
I have been using Temboz as my feed reader since 2004. I currently have over 500 feeds subscribed to, and my filtering rules get rid of around 1/3 of the incoming firehose of information.
The home page is the article reading interface, using a two-column layout. Clicking on the "Thumbs down" icon makes the article disappear, bringing a new one in its place (if available). Clicking on the "Thumbs up" icon highlights it in yellow and flags it as interesting in the database.
