Chris_B Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I could so with keeping an eye on a few IT news sites via RSS. What I'm after is an RSS reader that will run as a ticker, very discreetly at the top of my screen without taking up much space or overlaying other windows. It needs to be a standalone app, and be able to add arbitrary RSS/ATOM/etc feeds, and preferably it would remember and remove from the ticker any items I click. Anyone used one they can recommend, or is Google my friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 OK, trying out NewzCrawler, FeedDemon, and RDF-Ticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Didn't like FeedDemon and RDF-Ticker, but the rather naffly-named Newz Crawler actually seems quite good - it has a 'ticker' (but it only shows one entry at a time rather than a proper scrolling ticker tape list) and some quite nice integration with IE.

I may try a few more out, but it's actually seeming to do everything I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
