Alertbear is a similar idea to newsplorer, an RSS Reader that sits in your systems tray, very easy access, also has a pop-up notifier.

It seems to be a mini RSS Reader, but I’d like to use it with my Rojo OPML just for the pop-up notifier feature.

Anyway, from this image you can see how it basically works..from the website:

“The Stack appears whenever a feed contains new items, visibly showing you them being added to the top. You can scroll up and down it, see unread items by their cream colour and star icon, assign colours to your feed categories to make them easier to spot, click the arrow icon on each item to see expanded information, navigate through the list with arrow keys, page up/down or the mouse wheel and easily clear the stack with a quick stab of the delete key.”

…as you can see from the image the stack of items is ordered as a river of news.

What else…

You can mark items as read, you can have items coloured according to their feed category, you can set the pop-up notifier to just feeds in a category, you can see feed history which is basically an RSS Reader (view all posts, unread posts or posts by feed…sort by date, feed, or title…read in ascending or descending order…even apply a filter).

The only thing is that I can’t get it to work for some reason…I imported my OPML…but I had a hard time filing feeds in categories…I’ll keep at it.
