I love to use RSS feeds to keep tabs on the latest posts form my favorite sites. For those who don't know what RSS is, RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. It's its the little orange symbol that appears in the corner of your address bar. When you subscribe to an RSS feed with a reader, the feeds automatically update when new articles are posted on that website. For example, if I create a new post on this blog, your RSS reader will update and show your a short version of the post and then you click to see the whole thing. The advantage of using RSS is that you can have all the new articles for your favorite websites all in one place.
Anyways, Snackr is a reader that resides on your desktop and acts like a stock market ticker and scrolls little bits of each article across the bar. Unlike Windows Vista's built in RSS gadget, Snackr runs on its own. It is built on the Adobe AIR platform, which you must install to use Snackr. Snackr is best of all simple to use and can be placed on any edge of your screen. It also runs on Macintosh.
Get it for yourself. Its free.
