An RSS reader on your desktop

 

You have your favorite blogs. You get Twitter updates from friends. You visit news sites to stay informed. That can add up to a lot of surfing. A handy RSS (Really Simple Syndication) reader would bring all those updates to you.

There are a number of RSS readers out there. But they require you to launch a program or visit at site. RSS is a convenient service. Why can’t RSS reader be just as automatic?

That’s the issue addressed by FeedRoller. It’s an RSS reader on your desktop. Think of the headline ticker at the bottom of broadcast news programs. This program puts an RSS ticker at the top of your screen.

It can be configured to run every time you start your PC. Headlines from your favorite sites will pop up automatically. A customizable shortcut key will send you right to the site. Then you can read the full article.
