feedread sounds good. "feedreader" sounds even better and would be a
better name than "newsticker" I think.
newsticker.el -> feedreader.el (feeadrea.el)
newsticker-backend.el -> feedr-back.el (feedr-ba.el)
newsticker-plainview.el -> feedr-plain.el (feedr-pl.el)
newsticker-reader.el -> feedr-read.el (feedr-re.el)
newsticker-ticker.el -> feedr-tick.el (feedr-ti.el)
newsticker-treeview.el -> feedr-tree.el (feedr-tr.el)
That would match the 8+3 rule, be readable, and even be reasonable.

Extending newsticker, I mean feedreader, shouldn't be too difficult.
Retrieval is generic already as it can be done with an arbitrary elisp
command. Making newsticker=feedreader understand other feed formats is
easy, as long as the formats are well tempered. And of course one may
write another frontend/reader. But I don't see how you could play go
with it.

My copy of taocp has been collecting dust lately -- how would he do it?
