A huge army of people is working to make our life more interesting: news agencies, thematic sites and other newsmakers. And it would be nice if we had some one favorite site with all the news we need. So no! My horizons require that it be periodically expanded and updated. So news from design resources, book clubs, auto racing, my news aggregator processes without fail. Today we're going to take a look at a few apps that can stream your favorite RSS feeds directly to your desktop. What does it give? A significant reduction in the time spent reading the news. Especially in the morning, when you turn on your computer and your desktop is not yet closed, neither Word, nor Excel, nor 1C.

desktop ticker

Desktop Ticker displays news in a "creeping line", as is done on television news channels. The program has a list of preinstalled sources that will not be of interest to all Russian-speaking users. Of course, you can also add your own RSS feeds there.

Among other "fine" settings, there are also news scrolling speed, text size adjustment, color scheme selection and other details of news display in the running line.

When you hover the mouse over the news in the "ticker" we see a pop-up window with the news. And to get acquainted with the news in its entirety, just click on the left mouse button.

Feed Notifer

As the name implies, this program does not intend to twist letters around the screen. It will sit in the tray (system clock area) and from there give you windows with news as soon as they appear. Your task is only to add the necessary RSS feeds to the program.

The application does not know how to import a list of tapes. But this disadvantage is compensated by a certain convenience of the “reminder” settings, which can be done for each tape separately. In addition to the “Name” and “path to the RSS feed” common to all programs of this kind, you can specify the news update interval and frame color.

The news reminder window looks like this.

The navigation bar (in the lower left corner) allows you to navigate through the news manually. There is also a button for automatically scrolling news in the window (indicated in the figure).

Which RSS reminder do you prefer? I don't know, take your pick. I urge you to only one thing - expand your horizons with a variety of RSS feeds. And of course do not forget to specify!
