newsplorer : RSS notifier
A little while back I mentioned that I found the SharpReader notifier, and ScoopScanner notifier handy, a pop-up for each new item is essential (at least for some feeds), since Rojo doesn’t have this I use Rasasa (RSS to IM)…this kind of does a similar thing to a systems tray pop-up.
Another choice is to use a 3rd party system tray pop-up…on my to-do list are AlertBear and Touchstone…
One I did try today was newsplorer…it docks in your systems tray/taskbar, when you click it a widget appears, this is an RSS Reader.
You can even categorise your subscriptions…plus there is OPML import, even Bloglines import…plus right-click to del.icio.us).
In the preferences you will see it also has a pop-up notification feature, so now I guess I can try one of these 3 RSS alert services with my Rojo OPML (well my OPML Workstation version of a portion of my Rojo OPML, as my Rojo OPML is broken)…anyway I can see how this taskbar pop-up compares to my IM alerts.
What I like about my IM alerts are they don’t fade away, I have to close the window, this way if I’m away from my computer I won’t miss it.
