I usually use RSS feeds to keep track of my favourite sites although in recent times, I’ve been an increasing convert to the use of news tickers. News tickers avoid the need to visit websites or check RSS feeds by sitting on your desktop and scrolling content vertically or horizontally. These can be used to cover just about any topic. Here’s a selection of some of the best:
- Roxio MediaTicker – Delivers digital photos to your desktop
- MaxxChat – An excellent IRC messaging client that also features a world news ticker
- mySI – Essential for NFL fans – all the latest headlines and news from American Football
- NewzCrawler – Scans hundreds of sites and delivers news according to your interests
- Novobot – Squeeze all your favourite RSS feeds into a ticker so they’re all in one place
