Entire TV channels have been dedicated to reporting the latest developments.
Of course that’s not an option, so you filter.
How do you keep up with the latest news?
And how do you weed out what you don’t care for?
Do you scan the newspaper, visit different websites, or do you watch TV news?

The ticker has two options.
you could either view the latest news headlines in a ticker at the bottom or top of your desktop.
Or you might receive hourly updates.
you could snooze the hourly updates for up to two hours.
From the system tray icon, you might initiate the Content Options window.
This is where you make your selection of categories and customize the ticker.
For example, you’re free to change the scrolling speed under Ticker prefs in the bottom right.
The big drawback of this client is that you cannot add custom feeds.
While the design is refreshingly different, both clients offer almost identical features.
Alerts can be received via a separate alert window (displayed below) or a desktop ticker or both.
Through the system tray icon you’ve got the option to access further ticker options.
For example, news can scroll horizontally or vertically.
Snackr
For those of you who useAdobe Air, Snackr might be an interesting app.
When you choose a headline, the scrolling stops and a window with a summary pops up.
it’s possible for you to choose “View Post” to read the entire story online.
Snackr was previously reviewed by T.J. in his articleSnackr - Fancy Feed Reader.
