A new way to read RSS feeds, and I am loving it. I also created a customized Domino starter pack.. read more and grab it
So I got tired of managing RSS feeds full time trying to keep up and came across a product (Particls) that I have now made a permanent part of my desktop. You seed it with fixed feeds and keywords and just monitor those, or let it explore the web for you outside of your main feeds. You can then start training it, filtering data, making some sources higher in priority, some lower, remove some. It goes on and on.
The default is for the program to run in a ticker type anywhere on your screen. Floating or docked. You can then 'tear' off news feeds right to your desktop. If you need to work, set the reader to run in the background. As you highlight a feed, tear it off, mark it read or even make the source to get more or less info for you in the future. Build your keywords on the fly and add sites while in webpages. No, you don't even need to know what the feed is, let the software find all possible RSS feds listed on the page or just watch the page itself and then select form there. I could go on even more.
So give it a shot... screenshots to follow
